At just 18, Stroll made his Formula One debut in 2017 with Williams. That same year, he claimed his first podium with a third-place finish at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix—becoming the second-youngest F1 driver ever to stand on the podium. In 2019, he joined Racing Point, newly acquired by his father, and impressed with a fourth-place finish in a dramatic German Grand Prix. The following year, he earned his first pole position in Turkey and added two more podium finishes in Italy and Bahrain.
