Highlighting Stroll’s progress, Windsor stated, “For him to be a little bit ahead of Fernando [Alonso], it’s exactly where his father wants him to be. His father will be absolutely delighted with this – much more than if Fernando was on the front row and Lance Stroll was seventh or eighth.”
Windsor emphasized that Stroll’s hard work, combined with a more driveable car, has allowed him to showcase his capabilities and implement the techniques he has learned from Wilson. Stroll’s ability to outperform Alonso in a well-balanced, good-handling Aston Martin in Austria is a testament to his dedication and improvement.
