Lance Stroll says that he is excited to be racing on home turf next weekend but has not set any goals, stating that he is looking at the bigger picture. The Canadain Grand Prix weekend kicks off on Friday, around a track the 18-year-old grew up right beside.
So far, Stroll has struggled to come up to speed. He is yet to score points, while teammate Felipe Massa has taken home 20 points so far. He has failed to match the speed of the Brazilian, but Claire Williams has already spoken out in defence of him, claiming that he needs to be cut some slack.
"I do have my targets, in terms of what I need to improve on. In terms of position, not really," Stroll said. "I don't look at Canada and say 'I need to finish in the points' because that would be the wrong approach. I look at Canada and say 'what are my weaknesses? I need to improve in this area, this needs to happen and that needs to happen.' And then hopefully points will come."
"I think we all have to look at it in the right way. I’m 18 years old, the team knows that. It’s a challenging year in Formula One, and I think the team looks at it as a bigger project than just the next race. I think we’ve got to look at the bigger picture.
"Of course we’re going to go to Montreal and work as hard as we can and try and do the best we can ... but if we just always think we need to score points, then we start forgetting about the stuff we actually have to do to get there."
