Alonso calls making Lawrence Stroll’s double podium dream a reality in Montreal ‘an aggressive target’ for Aston Martin (www.formula1.com)

Think a double podium might be a bit too ambitious for Aston Martin given Mercs' improved pace. But it's likely going to be a wet race so who knows!

I hoping that the encouragement Lance is getting from his 2nd dad helps him progress. I've been a fan of Stroll for a while, since he has shown a few times that he's not JUST a pay driver on daddy's money, but has some raw talent to back up his place in the championship. Not that I believe he could be a front runner, but I could see him touching the top 5 in the points consistently with the car he's currently in if he could just find the pace he has shown in worse cars.

Lance can score points but he needs to show up more consistently. He has a reputation for being a good in wet weather but I feel like we haven't seen that this year either. I'd say that with more time in the car he could show improvement but he's had loads of time so idk. He's young and has a guaranteed future, wouldn't be surprised to see him among the leaders eventually but like, when?

Completely agree, I think that there really is some potential in stroll - not quite WDC material, but a very solid midfielder with potential for a podium given the right car.
