Lance Stroll has parted ways with Aston Martin, ending his tenure with the team. Stroll, the son of team owner Lawrence Stroll, had been driving for Aston Martin since 2019, initially joining Racing Point before it transformed into Aston Martin in 2021.
The Canadian driver’s departure comes amidst speculation about his future, with reports earlier suggesting he might leave the sport due to struggles on track. Stroll’s best finish in recent seasons was a fourth place, and he has faced criticism for his performance compared to teammate Fernando Alonso.
Stroll’s exit marks a significant change for Aston Martin, who are gearing up for the 2026 season with new regulations and Adrian Newey as team principal. The team had confirmed Stroll’s contract extension into the new era earlier, but it seems the decision was made to part ways.
Aston Martin has yet to announce Stroll’s replacement, but speculation is ramping up about potential candidates. With Alonso committed to the team, the focus will be on finding a strong partner for the two-time world champion.
The move raises questions about Aston Martin’s future direction and Stroll’s next steps. Would you like to know more about potential replacements for Stroll or Aston Martin’s plans for 2026?
