Lance Stroll had an odd 2023 season – but now into his eighth season in F1, a fully fit Canadian has no more excuses.
In the 2023 Formula 1 season, Lance Stroll faced challenges as he struggled to perform consistently. Despite his previous success with podium finishes and a pole position in the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix, he encountered difficulties and scored only 10 points in nine races between Austria and Qatar. This disappointing performance impacted Aston Martin’s overall standing in the Constructors’ Championship as McLaren surpassed them. Stroll’s teammate Fernando Alonso outshined him with 206 points, while McLaren’s lead driver Lando Norris closely followed with 205 points. Stroll’s season was marked by setbacks, including injuries he sustained before the season opener and various on-track incidents. However, he showed resilience by achieving notable results towards the end of the season, culminating in a total of 74 points for the year.
