Lance Strulovitch (born 29 October 1998), commonly known as Lance Stroll, is a Canadian racing driver, currently competing in Formula One for Aston Martin.
Born and raised in Montreal, Stroll is the son of billionaire businessman Lawrence Stroll, owner of the Aston Martin F1 Team. Stroll began competitive kart racing aged 10, winning several regional and national titles. A member of the Ferrari Driver Academy from 2010 to 2015, Stroll graduated to junior formulae in 2014, winning his first title at the Italian F4 Championship that year with Prema. He then won the Toyota Racing Series in 2015 with M2, and the FIA Formula 3 European Championship in 2016 with Prema.
Following his record-breaking successes in Formula 3, Stroll signed for Williams in 2017 to partner Felipe Massa, making his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix aged 18. He scored his maiden podium in Azerbaijan that year, becoming the second-youngest driver to score a podium finish and the youngest to do so during their rookie season. After two seasons at Williams, Stroll signed for Racing Point—having recently been acquired by his father—in 2019. Stroll achieved his maiden pole position at the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix, with podium finishes at the Italian and Sakhir Grands Prix that season. Stroll remained at the re-branded Aston Martin in 2021, partnering Sebastian Vettel for two seasons and Fernando Alonso since 2023.
As of the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix, Stroll has achieved one pole position and three podiums in Formula One. Stroll is set to remain at Aston Martin until at least the end of the 2026 season.[1]
Outside of Formula One, Stroll competed in two editions of the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2016 and 2018.
