“Impatient” Stroll supportive of Aston Martin amid struggles:

— Former Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack highlighted Lawrence Stroll’s supportive yet impatient approach to success in Formula 1.

“He has continued to be supportive, especially when you see the recruitment that he has made since.”

— Stroll has invested heavily in Aston Martin, including personnel like Adrian Newey and a state-of-the-art factory, while acknowledging the complexity of the F1 project.

“I think he recently said, ‘this is the most complicated project I’ve had’ or ‘the most difficult project that I have had so far.’”

— Krack emphasized that Stroll’s understanding of the challenges balances his ambition and impatience.

“It’s not like: ‘turn key’ - you put everything in place and it has to work.”

— Competition in F1 remains incredibly high, which complicates achieving consistent gains despite significant efforts.

“The level of the teams… everybody’s just split by 0.8-0.9s.”

— Aston Martin is focused on overcoming challenges with self-criticism and better execution on upgrades and operations.

“You expose yourself, it doesn’t work, and you have to explain why it doesn’t work.”
