F1 | Stroll: “We want to become one of the strongest teams”

The owner of the Indian team, father of Lance who this year he will share the garage with Sergio Perez to the Racing Point Force India, he wants his team to use the 2021 rules imposed by the FIA to their advantage, to become one of the strongest teams in the history of Formula 1.

Racing Point has the same human resources as the team Force India which secured fourth place in the constructors' championship in 2016 and 2017, but is armed with new funding and a secure future.

“At the moment the biggest priority is to continue fighting where we are -he has declared Lawrence stroll a formula1.com- subsequently, we will try to fight for third place in the constructors' standings and in the future, when the rules have changed, we will aim to become one of the strongest teams in history.".

There was no shortage of criticism of the Canadian investor for his role in saving the team, with the aim of ensuring a seat for his son Lance, leaving a talented driver like Esteban Ocon stranded. However, Stroll he confessed that he had not "never planned" to buy a team and said it was just the broader vision of the formula 1 to make him think it would be worth it.

“I saw it as a business opportunity and in view of the budget limit expected from 2021, there will be a better distribution of revenue for the smaller teams. This is good for a company like this, as this is the closest direction model to where the future is headed.”

The principal Otmar Szafnauer and the technical director Andrew Green ,two of the spearheads of the Force India, they will lead the Racing Point, but also Stroll will be “very involved”:

“The team already has good leadership and management, they've been doing this a long time and they do a great job. So, it's about supporting them and putting financial stability is underway”.
