Lance Stroll Facts
- He began his racing career with karting at the age of 10, in 2008. The same year, he won the ‘Federation de Sport Automobile du Quebec Rookie of the Year’ award and in 2009, he was named ‘Driver of the Year’. He was a member of the renowned Ferrari Driver Academy from 2010 to 2015.
- In 2015, he became the then second-youngest driver to be signed by a Formula One team when he was selected by Scuderia Ferrari as a development driver.
- In 2017, he became the first Canadian to be signed for a full season of competitive F1 racing since Jacques Villeneuve. Coincidentally, both drivers started their competitive F1 careers with the Williams racing team.
- In September 2017, when he secured 2nd place on the starting grid for the Italian Grand Prix, he became the then-youngest F1 driver to start on the front row of a race.
- Although he holds both Belgian and Canadian citizenship, he has always competed under the Canadian flag. In 2020, however, he was forced to race under an American license after Canada’s national sporting authority resigned its mandate from the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile). It was explained later that he would still be shown as Canadian for official scoring purposes.
