Lance Stroll was born on October 29, 1988, to Canadian-Belgian couple Lawrence Stroll and Claire-Ann Callens The former is a renowned businessman with a whopping net worth of $3.9 billion, and Lance’s mother has made quite a name for herself with her prowess in the fashion industry. Born in Montreal, Canada Lance’s junior career in racing began at the age of 10, and after growing through the ranks, he reached F1 with Williams in 2017 at the age of just 18.
Lawrence reportedly paid $80 million to the British outfit to help his son get this seat. After leaving the Grove-based outfit, Lance joined Racing Point, a team that his father bought and later rebranded to Aston Martin. Lance’s future in F1 is rarely in danger, largely owing to Lawrence’s position in the sport.
But his mother Claire gets concerned about Lance’s welfare at times. In 2023, the Canadian driver suffered a spate of bad luck that saw him crash the car several times. After a similar incident in Singapore, Claire urged him to quit F1.
Lawrence, on the other hand, has backed his son’s ambition to continue in the sport for as long as he wants. Having been a racer himself in the yesteryear, Lawrence has played a catalytic role in grooming his son for the discipline. Among the heavy investments is the Circuit Mont Tremblant in Canada, which Stroll Sr.
bought for his son to hone his skills on. Lawrence’s ambitions, however, don’t stop at having his son just be an F1 driver. He wants him to win the Cham.
