The Formula 1 2025 grid is taking shape with the recent confirmation that Lance Stroll will stay with Aston Martin. This decision may not surprise many, given that his father owns the team. The new deal ensures that Stroll remains a part of the Aston Martin team, continuing his partnership with veteran driver Fernando Alonso.
Stroll has been a fixture at Aston Martin since the rebrand in 2021. His tenure with the team will now extend until at least 2026, coinciding with the sport’s new regulatory era. Stroll expressed his delight at the deal, saying, “I’m super happy to have committed to staying with the team for 2025 and beyond. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in the last five years; we’ve grown so much as a team and there’s still so much more to look forward to.”
Team principal Mike Krack also expressed his satisfaction with Stroll’s renewed contract, highlighting his contribution to the team’s ongoing development. “We are delighted to confirm Lance’s future with Aston Martin. He has played a key role in building this team. His technical feedback, alongside his committed simulator work, has helped contribute to the continuous development of the car each season,” Krack stated. He emphasized how the stability brought by both Stroll and Alonso provides a solid foundation for the team’s aspirations.
While Stroll has faced some criticism regarding his performance, Fernando Alonso has been vocal in his praise. Alonso envisions Stroll as a future leader of the team, stating, “Now I feel the opposite, I’m the oldest, I’m the one with more experience and I feel that responsibility on my shoulders, of leading the team and trying to help not only the engineers, but also Lance. I will be part of the team for many years, even when I am not driving, and Lance will lead this team in the future. I will always support him.”
Despite the critiques, Stroll’s journey in the sport reflects his ongoing efforts and technical skills. His ability to score 285 points, earn three podiums, and achieve a pole position at the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix underscores his capability. As the 2025 grid firms up, Stroll’s presence within Aston Martin symbolizes not only continuity but also potential growth and success.
Lance Stroll’s renewed commitment to Aston Martin solidifies his role in their future and builds on a promising foundation.
