However, the unexpected challenge posed by Alonso has prompted some reevaluation. Windsor suggested that the Stroll family might be questioning their approach, wondering what they have created by bringing in a driver of Alonso’s caliber.
As the Formula 1 circus heads to the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian Grand Prix, the characteristics of the circuit may offer Stroll an opportunity to shine. The track’s excess of long, line-locked corners could level the playing field between teammates, much like how Valtteri Bottas often outpaced Lewis Hamilton during his tenure at Mercedes. Windsor believes that Stroll might benefit from this effect, similar to Sergio Perez, who has struggled in recent races while his Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen has enjoyed a string of victories.
