Lance Stroll is in serious crisis. It’s more like a hole. The Canadian, Aston Martin driver and teammate of Fernando Alonso, is a star-studded distance from the Asturian in the World Championship and his numbers, discreet numbers both with the car in excellent form and now that it is not not, make the team wait. Let’s see when McLaren snatches fourth place in the constructors’ championship.

And the numbers don’t lie. Since the summer holidays, since his return to a Dutch GP in which Fernando Alonso took the podium, Stroll’s performance can only be compared to that of three other drivers. Stroll can only be compared to Nico Hulkenberg, Yuki Tsunoda and Logan Sargeant. Among them, the German has 9 points throughout the course, while the Japanese has two and the American has zero, from the beginning until now.

The Canadian is, together with the trio named at the end of the previous paragraphthe only one on the entire grid to He doesn’t know what it means to add a single point. upon returning from summer vacation.

The difference is he drives an Aston Martin. That he He has a car with which Fernando Alonso scores points and with which, in this same section, stood on the podium in Zandvoort even fight for victory.

He only added 20 points since Monaco

This is Stroll’s record in the last five Tests. A record which contrasts with a start where, over the same number of races, He had 27 points in his record.

Twelve later, he has 47. Added to this, more than double the number of Grands Prix contested with also three additional sprints, only 20 more units than those obtained from March to May.

Four consecutive GPs down in the first quarter

The worst, also on Saturday. In the last four Grands Prix, Stroll has not made it past Q1 in any of them. Four consecutive rankings down the first of a change to which must be added the ‘qualification’ for the sprint in Qatar.

While, Fernando Alonso remains the only driver who visited Q3 every Saturday of the 17 World Cup races.

It remains to be seen whether this is enough for Aston Martin, a team we remember The owner is Lance’s father.when making decisions to modify its driver lineup for 2024.

There are 136 points between them

Alonso fights almost alone against teams of two drivers, since it is at Aston Martin, one of the leading teams, that there is the biggest difference between the drivers. There is neither more nor less than 136 points that Fernando takes from Stroll. It’s almost the same as the entire team knocking out Alpine in the World Manufacturers’ Championship.
