Currently, there’s no confirmed news of Lance Stroll leaving Aston Martin or terminating his contract. The Canadian driver, son of Aston Martin’s owner Lawrence Stroll, has been a fixture on the team since 2021, with recent updates suggesting he will remain with Aston Martin into the 2025 season and potentially beyond. Despite some lackluster performances compared to his highly experienced teammate Fernando Alonso, Stroll’s role is secured, likely due to his father’s significant investment and long-term ambitions for the team.
Throughout this season, Stroll’s performance has faced criticism from both fans and pundits. Some analysts have even suggested that Aston Martin consider replacing him with a more competitive driver, such as Yuki Tsunoda, to strengthen their position in the Constructors’ Championship, particularly with the team’s upcoming transition to Honda engines in 2026. BBC pundit Harry Benjamin recently voiced that Tsunoda’s consistency might better support Alonso, who has shouldered the majority of the team’s points.
Yet, due to Lawrence Stroll’s deep involvement in the team, any transition away from F1 for Lance would likely be gradual and carefully managed. Some have speculated that he could eventually shift to Aston Martin’s World Endurance Championship team if he does not meet expectations in F1. However, for now, Aston Martin seems committed to Stroll and his potential future in F1.
