Lance Stroll's quietly had the best start of his F1 career

Lance Stroll has had the best start to an F1 season in his whole career. How?

Lance Stroll is off to the best season start of his Formula 1 career, unexpectedly outperforming rivalsincluding both Ferrari drivers. With Aston Martin undergoing major internal restructuring, such as bringing in industry giants like Adrian Newey and Andy Cowell, the team's new approach appears to be unlocking Stroll's hidden potential. Critical to this transformation is Stroll's new race engineer, Gary Gannon, whose decisive strategies and calm authority have already secured crucial points, notably during a dramatic wet-weather race in Australia.

However, behind this sudden turnaround lies immense pressure and rising expectations. Aston Martin's ambitious plans for 2026including Adrian Newey’s fully designed AMR26 and a powerful Honda partnershipmean Stroll must deliver consistent performances or risk losing his seat, even as the boss’s son. Is this the moment Lance Stroll finally silences his critics, breaks free from his nepotism labeland emerges as a credible midfield contender? Find out what’s fueling his impressive rise and how his new dynamic with Gannon could shape the rest of the season.

I dont really like Lance much, but I can appreciate that he's just simply stayed out of trouble and finished races in the points so far, unlike a good handful of drivers who should be performing better.

[demonqueenazazel]

Not many creators or commentators talk about the people other than Drivers and Team Principals. Your insight into the supporting staff, especially their careers and past achievements, is invaluable and much appreciated.

I didn’t even know Lance had a new engineer. Your analysis of Gary was super interesting to hear. This is why I’m subscribed to you!

[yaboimohaimin]

Lance stroll must have been watching RPM's videos everyday before going to sleep

[KevinReillyRacing]

I’m just as shocked. The first two races seeing him drive consistently, not spin, and be well into the points. Really didn’t have this on my bingo card this year

[codenamenot]

Lance is the embodiment of what started F1 - rich playboys going racing because they can. He represents the genesis.

[soaploap]

A cool 23 minutes of getting excited over Lance Stroll performing somewhat adequately after 8 years

[adblox]

I pray that Stroll manages to just have a good season. Not even asking him to beat Nando, just to keep it out of the walls and score good points every so often. 🙏

[zoehltsen]

Honestly, good for him. Always happy when a driver does well. It doesnt reduce the sting of nepotism but at least hes giving it a good go this season.

[omamz]

Lance Stroll has had 2 good races in a row. That’s it. Amazing how you managed to stretch it to 23 minutes. Pure entertainment. Love it.

[teamredgutz]

If you have followed Lance’s career, he typically has about 5 to 6 very good races per year. They often occur in the beginning and the end of the season and the middle tends to be weak. So I’m not surprised by the strong start. He had one in 2023 as well.

[cecilcharlesofficial]

I'm an RPM fan and love to bash on Stroll. But the back of my mind has always reminded me: he's not last. And to be 'not last' against the top 20 drivers in the world is impressive. He's so easy to root against: that sh*t eating grin of his, his attitude, his beaching the car in the sand for no reason. But. And I hate myself for saying this. He can drive sometimes. He doesn't only lick windows.

[PaceNXU]

I’m pleasantly surprised if he’s gonna have a seat he needs to earn it and he has done that thus far this season

[maalgara]

I am not a Stroll fan, but it is undeniable that he’s had some outstanding performances in the rain and been relatively competitive against proven drivers like Alonso and Perez during parts of several seasons. I feel his main problem in one of motivation

[chriscampbell]

Possibly unhinged opinion here, but Lance Stroll might be one of the most important F1 drivers of the past 10 years. His pay driver status helped to keep Williams racing when he broke in to F1. Taking over Force India and keeping them racing not only let Perez earn a Red Bull seat but also brought enough investment to a perennial bottom mid team that they should realistically challenge for wins in the next gen of cars. By no means am I saying Lance is a great F1 driver. But name a pay driver with a more beneficial impact on the sport!

[EstebanLopez-bnpd]

Imagine that, Ferrari being so bad they made Stroll look good.

[BeAnUrLaTe]

i’m loving the love for lance this year. as long as he doesn’t whine and doesn’t crash out he’s actually, dare i say, admirable or at the very least he’s likable!

[chrisc]

Lance doesnt help himself at times (Brazil 2024) but hes a long way from the shitty pay drivers there were in the 1990s / 2000s. Podium in a Williams, and the pole at Turkey in the wet was an excellent performance.

As an aside: you're knocking it out of the park with these recent videos. Great stuff, keep it coming!

[Taurus-_-]

This is my first time watching f1 (waking up at three in the morning, I used to follow the sport though) and I immediately was a big fan of lance. I love me a good redemption story and can’t wait to see him do better this season

[evilintentofficial]

Bro took RPM’s videos personally it seems
