The strange story is told by Jacques Villeneuve, the 1997 F1 champion who was a lo⛎ng-time neighbour of the Stroll family🌃 in Montreal.

"Lawrence built his son his own go-kart track, which was just a 15-minute walk from the house,” Villeneuv♉e claimed to ꦐ.

“Nevertheless꧒, Lance covered the distance by helicopter eඣvery day."

A separate source, discussing the younger Stroll’s attitude to racing, was quoted: "Father and son once came to our💟 factory to have a look: I have never seen such an interested father and such a disinterested son."

The Aston Martin driver’s woes resurfaced at this weekenꦰd’s F1 Qatar Grand Prix when he shoved a team member inside his garage after a fourth consecutive Q1 elimination on Friday.

His mother, the report claims, “is putting pressure on her son to end his motorsport career this year after a number of acc♕idents”.

It is also r❀eported that Aston Martin “no longer rule out a retirement” for their youngest driver.

The same source previously reported that h💛is father, the Aston Martin executive chꦆairman Lawrence Stroll, had been approached by a Saudi Arabian fund about purchasing the F1 team for a fee in excess of $800m.
