Lance Stroll drove a solid race to secure P8 and some valuable points at the Styrian Grand Prix. With some great overtaking moves on the likes of Fernando Alonso and some good defending against Charles Leclerc, Stroll kept his head down and focused on his own race which means his team are catching AlphaTauri in the standings.
“It was a good first lap, [I] overtook Fernando around the outside, and that really set us up for a good rest of the race,” Stroll told reporters, including PlanetF1.com, in the paddock after the chequered flag.
“Then from there, it was just maximum attack and I’m happy to pick up points for the team today.
“The Ferraris seemed a bit too quick today, they have really good pace so I don’t think we could have got much more out of it today.”
Stroll and Aston Martin will be hoping for another solid points finish at the same circuit next weekend.
