In comparison to his strong performances alongside Sebastian Vettel in the previous seasons, Stroll’s struggles against Alonso have highlighted the difference between the two multiple World Champions. Some, including renowned motorsport journalist Peter Windsor, believe that Stroll’s father, Lawrence Stroll, may intervene to help his son bridge the gap to Alonso.
Windsor, responding to a viewer’s question during a recent YouTube stream, expressed his belief that Lawrence Stroll would take action to ensure Lance can match Alonso’s performance by the end of the season. Lawrence Stroll’s ambitions in Formula 1 involve creating a team where Lance can contend for Grand Prix victories and the World Championship. To achieve this, he has sought to provide strong benchmark drivers, such as Vettel, to push Lance and gauge his progress.
