Stroll has previously shown off his wealth and once went to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix in a personal helicopter. He will be joined at Aston Martin by Fernando Alonso this season, with the Spaniard backing him to massive success in the sport and although he currently rivals only Hamilton and Verstappen in wealth, he could join them as the F1 champion.
Alonso said: “At Lance, the team has a very young, very talented driver who has the potential to be world champion. To see him achieve that and play a part in that, whether he’s behind the wheel or not, will be special for me.”
“He’s got the pace, he’s got the talent. He’s shown that many times, especially in the wet. I remember Lance’s pole position in Turkey and some of his other excellent performances in the wet; to perform at that level in difficult conditions. You have to have a special feel for the car” .
