Stroll wants to build further: 'We need to keep this momentum'

Lance Stroll, who can look back on the Bahrain Grand Prix with satisfaction, wants to take 'that positive momentum' to the street circuit in Jeddah. The Canadian managed a sixth-place finish in Bahrain. Whether that is in the cards this weekend remains to be seen.

Stroll sees this weekend as another learning opportunity, according to the press release from Aston Martin. "The circuit in Jeddah is completely different to that in Bahrain, so it offers us an invaluable opportunity to collect more data and deepen our understanding of the AMR23."

Stroll prepared for anything

Real speedsters will feel right at home next weekend. At the fastest circuit on the calendar, the dark green bolides will be looking to maintain their surprising spots in the rankings.

Lance Stroll also hints at a possible tactic in the race. "We have seen Safety Cars on both occasions that we have raced in Saudi Arabia, so we need to ensure we are ready to capitalise on any opportunities that come our way," said the 24-year-old driver.
