Yeah Aston Martin is at this stage of the season ahead of McLaren in the ranking and with Fernando Alonso struggle Lewis Hamilton for being the “best of the rest”, much of the blame goes to the two-time champion of Formula 1.
Aston Martin He made an incredible improvement last winter, certainly, but neither the team matched the evolution of its rivals, nor the Asturian’s teammate, Lance’s Walkadded what would be the minimum required, especially in the first third of the season.
In an interview on ‘DAZN’, the Canadian sang ‘mea culpa’ and admitted that he was not at the level and that for this reason he had missed various “opportunities” that the team offered him.
“It’s been a pretty difficult season for me. I think I missed many opportunities in many races in which we had good results when the car was working well,” explained the son of team owner Lawrence Stroll.
“The first three races we were the second or third fastest car. Now McLaren is going faster, Mercedes and Ferrari have also improved…” he added.
With six races remaining in the season, Lance believes a podium finish is still possible… as long as his rivals fail.
“It’s harder to fight for a podium, but I think if we improve the car a little more and end up with a good position or something is happening between Mercedes, Ferrari or else, it’s possible. There are a lot of races to come,” concluded the Canadian.
