The 2023 Bahrain GP eliminated a good chunk of the ‘pay driver’ naysayers for Lance Stroll, though it was not the first example of him proving them wrong.
However, Stroll changed opinions in the world of Formula 1 quite widely at the start of F1 2023, not simply through his performance, but by the fact that he was even on the grid for the Bahrain season opener in the first place. And rather than just being there making up the numbers, Stroll fought through the pain to record a P6 finish come the end of the race, splitting the Mercedes drivers as his Aston Martin team celebrated that gutsy performance, and a podium delivered by the fully-fit, two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso.
Having outqualified his vastly more experienced team-mate Felipe Massa, Stroll took advantage of the chaos ahead, including technical gremlins for his team-mate, to improve to the podium places and came oh so close to finishing P2, but was narrowly beaten to that position by Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas in a drag race to the finish line.
Stroll would finish the race a very respectable P7, having repelled the attack of Massa in the closing stages.
