Adrian Newey: Lance Stroll is better than people think.
Over the years of competing in Formula 1, Lance Stroll has gained a reputation as a driver who does not show much enthusiasm for his work. In many interviews, the Canadian racer answers in monosyllables in a monotone voice and rarely smiles. Some fans and experts even got the impression that Lance was tired of Formula 1.
However, designer Adrian Newey, who joined Aston Martin only in March, has already expressed his support for the Canadian racer.
Adrian Newey: "I think Lance has an unfairly bad reputation. He has teamed with drivers like Sergio Perez, Nico Hulkenberg, Sebastian Vettel, and now Fernando Alonso. Lance often found himself on the same level as such recognized masters and outstanding racers.
Any driver who competes in Formula 1 is undoubtedly very good. Lance is much better than people think he is."
