Stroll thinks he's more consistent now despite Williams struggles

Lance Stroll believes he has become more consistent in Formula 1 despite only recording six points in 2018.

Stroll signed for Racing Point Force India for the 2019 season after his father Lawrence led a consortium that bought Force India over the summer.

Despite achieving considerably fewer points in 2018 after a 40 point haul in 2017, Stroll remains confident he is more consistent now.

"I've definitely been more consistent," the Canadian told Motorsport.com.

"When I haven't been there or I've made mistakes, it's been on less of scale compared to last year.

"Last year, when I was on a high it was really good and the position was good and when I struggled I really, really struggled, but now I'm a bit more consistent.

"But it's dominated by the fact we weren't competitive and, therefore, as a driver there's only so much you can do in qualifying and the race."

Drivers in the past like Jenson Button have suggested challenging seasons have offered more room for growth and Stroll is hoping for the same.

"Perhaps that could be the case, I can only let you know later on in my career when I have more experience, more knowledge," said Stroll when asked if he felt he'd learned more this season as a result of the Williams team's struggles.
