Stroll's junior career was marked by consistent championship success across multiple series. In 2014, he claimed the Italian F4 championship, establishing himself as a rising talent in European motorsport.

The following year, he traveled to New Zealand to compete in the Toyota Racing Series, where he secured another championship title in 2015. His junior career reached its pinnacle in 2016 when he dominated the FIA European Formula 3 championship, one of the most competitive stepping stones to Formula One.

Throughout this period from 2010 to 2015, Stroll benefited from his association with the Ferrari Driver Academy, which provided crucial development and exposure to Formula One-level professionalism.

Stroll made his Formula One debut in 2017 and quickly made his mark on the sport's history books. His breakthrough moment came at the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where he secured his first podium finish with a third-place result.

This achievement was particularly significant as it made him the second-youngest driver ever to finish an F1 race on the podium, and notably, the youngest driver to achieve a podium finish during their rookie season. Currently, he drives for Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team, continuing his Formula One career at the highest level of motorsport.
