Lance Stroll
Number 18 · Born Montreal, Canada · 29 October 1998

The Journey
Born in Montreal to billionaire entrepreneur Lawrence Stroll and Belgian fashion designer Claire-Anne Callens, Lance Stroll arrived in Formula 1 in 2017 carrying the inevitable scrutiny that accompanies both a famous name and an unfashionable family wallet. What the headline-writers consistently underplayed was a genuine talent that predated any family involvement in F1 ownership — he won the Italian F4 championship in 2014 and the FIA Formula 3 European Championship in 2016 when his father had no stake in any grand prix team, titles earned purely on ability in a competitive field.
His debut season at Williams saw a sensational podium at just his fourth Grand Prix, in Azerbaijan, and further podiums in Bahrain and Italy in 2020 added to his tally. A stunning pole position in treacherous wet conditions at the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix remains one of the most impressive single-lap performances of his career. From 2023 alongside Alonso at Aston Martin, Stroll has continued to develop within a team his father now owns — a unique and permanently debated dynamic. In 2026, he enters his tenth Formula 1 season, a milestone that puts a great deal of early criticism firmly into context.
Occasionally spectacular in the rain, continuously developing his racecraft, and showing more substance than the loudest voices around him acknowledge, Stroll is a driver still very much writing his story.
Lance Stroll's sister Chloe is married to Australian Olympic snowboarder Scotty James — the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics halfpipe gold medalist — making the Stroll family one of the most decorated multi-sport households in Canadian sporting history. The family's connection to both Formula 1 and Olympic winter sports gives them a very unusual place in the global sporting landscape.
