Like many racing drivers Stroll started his career with Karts. He switched to Formula racing in 2014 and won the Italian Formula 4 Championship.
He entered Formula 3 European Championship last year and finished the rookie season with a win and six podium finishes to end the season at the overall fifth position. After one year, just third season into single seaters he is the champion.
Stroll is also the member of Young Driver Development Program with the Williams Formula One Team this season.
Ulrich Fritz, Head of Mercedes-AMG DTM said, " Congratulations to Lance Stroll, the new FIA Formula 3 European Champion. To win the championship with a weekend to go before the end of the season is a great performance by him and his team."
He added, "Formula 3 is one of the best series for following the development of young talents, of which there have been a number of good examples in recent years."
He further said,"I'm thinking especially here of our two Mercedes juniors Pascal Wehrlein and Esteban Ocon in Formula 1 and Felix Rosenqvist, who recently made such a strong start in the DTM. I trust too that Lance will make his way in motor racing."
