Along with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez, Stroll’s future is a topic th✨at continues✅ to be hotly debated.

Stroll’s consistent underperformance in F1 2023 is the main reason Aston Martin are set to lose♑ fourth in the constructors’ championship to McLaren.

The Canadian has scored 136 points fewer than teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso, who remarkably sits third in the standings.

The vast chasm between the two teammates is only greater at Red Bull, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen scoring 209 points more than Perez so far.

In many normal cases, Stroll’s form would lead to him being sacked at the end of the season - and most likely out of F1 for good - however his case is u🦹nique in thꩲe fact that his billionaire father - Lawrence Stroll - owns the team.

As a result, his future as a driver within the team is basically untouchable for as long as Lawrence is the owner or if Lance wants to st🌟ick ar꧋ound.

Lawr🍃ence has backed his son from the start, funding his karting career, ultimately leading him to join the Ferrari Driver Academy as one of their prestigious talents.

Stroll’s rise through the ranks ⛦was impressive, but again, he had a unique advantage given his father’s incredible wealth and connections🐷.

Lawrence’s acquisition of the entire Prema operation put the odds in his son’s favour, so it was🤡 no surprise he wo🐼uld dominate and take the title in 2016.

Combined with the fact that they were paying Williams to privately test their 2014ಞ car in preparation for F1.

It ultimately culminated in Stroll making his grand prix debut with the Grove outfit a year later, 𒐪at ju⭕st 18 years of age.

Despite the critics, and a fairly uninspiring start alongside veteran 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Felipe Massa, Stroll turned things around with an impr𒊎essive weekend in Azerbaijan, scoring his maiden podium.

He would ultimately end the ♚season just a few points behind Massa in the standings - impressive given Logan Sargeant in 2023 hasn’t yet to score when teammate Alex Albon has pickꦯed up 23.

An uncompetitive Williams package in 2018 - with the team not willing to sell to the Stro♎lls - saw Lawrence takeover the Force India outfit.

Rebranded as Racing P🃏oint (and now Aston Martin), the Strolls have remained at the Silverstone-based outfit ever since.

Stroll was comprehensively beaten by new teammate Perez in 2019, however, 2020 showed he had scope to pro꧒gress.

A very competitive Racing Point allowed Stroll (and Perez) rack up big points, includi𓆉ng a 🔯1-3 finish at the Sakhir Grand Prix.

While the final points tally didn’t reflect♔ S💫troll’s season entirely, with bad luck and COVID-19 having an impact overall.

Stroll then performed respectfully alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel at the newly branded Aston Martin, with the 💯pair evenly-matc𝓰hed come race day.

At 🐲this point, it seemed that Stroll had established h🍨imself as a solid, midfield performer whose F1 future wasn’t questioned as frequently.

Ho🧔wever, fast fo꧟rward to 2023, it’s a different story.

Ironically, Stroll’s best form cam𓃲e at the start of the season when he was recovering from a hand injury.

With his perf𝄹ormances not 🐻getting any better, frustrations have boiled over in recent rounds, particularly in Qatar, where he was seen pushing his personal trainer.

The enjoyment is clearly dwindling for Stroll and alongs🌸ide Alonso, he haꦏs one of the toughest teammates on the grid.

What the🌄 future holds is up to him - or his father.

Given the level of investment and time that has been put into Stroll’s career - and subsequent team in the form of A🅰ston Martin - it would be hard to give up.

If Stroll was to leave F1, he wouldn’t be short of opportunities elsewhere - in other motor🌳sport categories o🔯r outside, Tennis, perhaps?

Similarly Aston Martin’s resurgence will make it an attractive proposi🅰tion for at least half of the grid.
