Along with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez, Stroll’s future is a topic that con🐟tinues toꦛ be hotly debated.

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

The Canadian has scored 136 points fewer than teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso, who remarkably sits third in the standings.

The vast chasm between the two teammates is only greater at Red Bull, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: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 unique in the fac🥀t that his billionaire father - Lawrence▨ Stroll - owns the team.

As a result, his future as a driver within the team is b🎐asically untouchable for as long as Lawrence is the owner🧸 or if Lance wants to stick around.

Lawrence 🍰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 throཧugh the ranks was impressive, but again, he had a unique advantage given his father’s incredible wealth and connectionsᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ.

Lawrence’s acquisition of the entire Prema operation put the ౠodds in his son’s favour, so it was no surprise he would dominate and take the title in 2016.

Combined with the fact that they were paying Williams to privately test their 2014 car in preparation for ཧF1.

It ultimately culminated in Stroll makiꦏng his grౠand prix debut with the Grove outfit a year later, at just 18 years of age.

Despite the critics, and a fairly uninspiring start alongside veteran 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Felipe Massa, Stroll turned things around with an impressive weekend in Azerbaijan, scoring his maiden po🎃dium.

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

An uncompetitive Williams package in 2018 - with the team not willing to sell to the Strolls - saw Lawrenc♉e takeover the Force India outfit.

Rebrandedꦆ as Racing Point (and now Aston Martin), the Strolls have remained at 🐷the Silverstone-based outfit ever since.

Stroll was comprehensively beaten by new teammate Pere🌳z in 2019, howev💦er, 2020 showed he had scope to progress.

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

While the final ♒points tally didn’t reflect Stroll’s season entirely, with bad luck and COVID-19 having an impact over🌜all.

Stroll then performed respectfully alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel at the newly branded Aston Martin, wi🌳th the pair⛎ evenly-matched come race day.

At this point, it seemed that Stroll had established himself as a solid, midfield performer whose F1 future wasn’t que𝕴stion🎃ed as frequently.

Howevꦬer, fast fo𝔉rward to 2023, it’s a different story.

Ironically, Stroll’s best form came at the start of the sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeason when he was recove🍬ring from a hand injury.

With his performances 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 alongside Alonso, he has one of the toughest teammates on the griಌd.

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

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

If Stroll was to leave F1, he wouldn’t be short of opportunities elsewhere - in other motorsport categorie🐟s or outside, Tennis, pe༺rhaps?

Similarly Aston Martin’s resu𝓰rgence will make it an attractive proposition for at least half of the grid.
