With a dogged performance and remarkable recovery, alongside a team rapidly in the ascendancy, Bahrain was a watershed moment for both Lawrence and Lance Stroll. ✍️ OllieHarden F1
There may still be too much ‘me’ and not enough ‘we’ in his rhetoric for the liking of some, but as the celebrations settled in Bahrain came a humanising of the fierce and uncompromising money man as Stroll discussed his pride having seen his son Lance recover from a pre-season cycling accident – and gritting his teeth through the pain of a broken wrist and toe – to finish sixth.
But being one of the youngest drivers ever to stand on a podium and start from the front row , as well as a maiden pole position at Istanbul 2020, did not do as much to silence Stroll’s critics as racing in Bahrain as a rich man’s son assuming the role of a plucky underdog. The sight of Stroll in a hospital bed with both arms bandaged up to the elbow, flexing his hands before putting them through a series of exercises provided confirmation that all Formula 1 drivers – even those with billionaire fathers – are made of different stuff.
Lawrence was told it was impossible to make a team go from seventh in the standings in one season to the front of the field in the next, so he made it happen.
