Ironically, Lance Stroll and the Frenchman are old friends and the Canadian insists that political issues will not harm this relationship:

“There's business, there's politics in Formula 1, I have my management he has his and we're both trying to do the best we can for our careers; then there is our friendship. We competed together in karts, fighting wheel to wheel, in Formula 3 he won the championship and then I arrived. We've always had a great friendship and it's nice to see that we haven't burned ties.".

Ocon's fans had rebelled against Stroll's financial support, but through social media, it was the Frenchman who called for calming down:

“We have the same passion, competitive spirit and the same love for sport. Please be respectful and show your support, nothing is easy in life and we all work hard to be here.".
