Following an extraordinary 2014 season, Lance Stroll will follow a new demanding and fascinating challenge. After cruising to the 2014 Italian Formula 4 Championship at his debut in single seaters, the 16 year old Canadian of the Ferrari Driver Academy will step up to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, the most prestigious and competitive series in the world for this category.
Stroll remains loyal to Prema, the Team that will entrust him with on of its four Mercedes-powered Dallara cars. The Vicenza based Team, winner of the last four editions of the Championship, will line up next to Stroll the already announced Jake Dennis. The names of the two drivers who will complete Prema’s line up will be announced in the next days.
René Rosin – Team Manager
“After his phenomenal title run in the Italian F.4 Championship, in what was effectively his maiden open-wheel season, it was natural for us to continue the relationship with Lance and follow him through the highly-renowned FIA Formula 3 Series. For him, it will be the first time in an international car racing environment but I reckon he will be up to this new adventure. Winter testing has been extremely positive so far, also because Lance is a young guy able to listen and then put the advice into practice. So we are positively looking forward to the first round of the season, set for the April 12 weekend at Silverstone”
