Lance Stroll, whose name sounds like it belongs to a leisurely afternoon walker but actually describes a young man who hurtles around Formula 1 tracks at speeds that would make a hyperspace bypass seem slow. Born in 1998, in the chilly charm of Montreal, Canada, Lance grew up surrounded by two things: a love for motorsport and a father with enough money to buy half the galaxy—or at least part of an F1 team. Starting in go-karts at the age of five, Lance quickly decided that turning in circles at breakneck speeds was far more fun than anything resembling normal childhood hobbies. After conquering Formula 3 and landing a podium in F1 at the absurdly young age of 18, he now drives for Aston Martin, a team that sounds as cool as it looks. For kids, Lance is proof that with a mix of skill, support and the occasional bit of cosmic good fortune, you can zoom straight toward your dreams.
