F1 News: David Croft Makes Big Lance Stroll Prediction - "Will Race His Last Race In Formula One"

David Croft has made a bold prediction over Lance Stroll's future in the sport.

Sky Sports F1 commentator and presenter David Croft has made a bold prediction about Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll's future in the sport. 

Stroll, whose father is a major shareholder in both Aston Martin and the Aston Martin F1 team, entered his F1 rookie season back in 2017 with Williams. And although he has worked his way up the ranks and proved his place in the sport, especially after his performances earlier this season, many assume he automatically has a place on a team due to his father. 

Despite this, Croft discussed Stroll's future in Formula One on the recent Sky Sports F1 podcast, predicting that he might make a move into something else in a year to eighteen months time. Croft explained:

“I want to see the Lance Stroll back that turned up in Bahrain, because I think he’s lost his way a little bit.

“I think he’s lost his mojo, and whatever’s happened, Lance just doesn’t seem to be as motivated now as he was at the start of the season.

“I do wonder, he’s the one driver on the grid that you think: ‘You’re guaranteed a job as long as your dad is there’, and we’ve never actually talked about contracts for Lance Stroll.

“We’ve never looked at his future elsewhere, but I just have a little feeling that in about a year and a half’s time, Lance Stroll will race his last race in Formula 1 and go off and do something else."

The legendary commentator went on to add that he doesn't think F1 was the sport Stroll always wanted to get into. He continued:

“Because I just I think he’s losing his mojo. I don’t think Formula 1 was the sport he wanted to go into when he was younger.

“I mean, he was a massive tennis talent when he was younger, one of the best youngsters in Canada at the time, and I just wonder if he might go off and find something that fulfils him more and brings more excitement to him.

“I’m not saying he’s not enjoying driving in Formula 1. I think there are times he is, but I think I look at him sometimes and think: ‘You want to be doing something else, don’t you?’

“And I think his dad will realise as chairman as well that it’s a business and I need two drivers. So, if he’s not getting the results, I think an easy decision is made.”
