Both Aston Martin drivers drove fantastically in today's wet-to-dry race.
Stroll didn't put a foot wrong. He, too, had a terrific start, gained places on the first lap, and had a beautiful battle with Scuderia AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda during the early stages on intermediates.
After his pitstop, he settled into P10, surviving race-long pressure from a train of cars and bringing home his first point of the season.
Lance comments, "It has been a positive weekend for the team and it is great to see both cars in the points.It was a well-earned point for us today because there was intense pressure throughout the race, not to mention the changeable weather conditions."
The Canadian adds, "At the beginning of the race, we performed strongly. Everyone was battling overheating tyres and a drying track, but we kept [Lewis] Hamilton behind and pressured [Yuki] Tsunoda ahead. Once we switched to the Medium tyre, we continued to show good pace and pulled away from the train of cars behind us."
How was that, Lance? 💚

Stroll concludes, "I am happy that we performed better this weekend and made the most of the opportunities that came our way. Qualifying and the race were in cooler and wet conditions, which may have suited us. We will enjoy today but will continue to keep pushing for more in the coming races."
The #ImolaGP marked our first points of the season with a double top 10 finish. 👏
