The Canadian Lance Stroll has become the 101st rider from Turkey to claim pole position in the premier class. The Racing Point driver had to worry about it for hours.
And suddenly it seemed that Max Verstappen would be in pole position after the spectacular qualifying for the Turkish GP: Lance Stroll, who was the fastest in practice, was summoned at office hours by the four race stewards, the Canadian The 22-year-old was charged with being under a yellow flag not having slowed down enough; a yellow flag, provoked by Sergio Pérez, a stablemate of Stroll’s Racing Point.
Race Stewards Gerd Ennser (Germany), Dennis Dean (USA), Derek Warwick (England) and Fatih Altayli (Turkey) analyzed the race car data and heard what Stroll had to say. Then it was clear: the Canadian had done everything right, without penalty, Lance can keep pole.
The Canadian is the third Formula 1 driver from his country to achieve a pole position in the premier class; after Gilles Villeneuve (Long Beach 1979 and Imola 1981) and his son Jacques (13 Poles, from Australia 1996 to Jerez 1997).
Stroll is the 101st Formula 1 driver to be on pole. This means that it belongs to a very exclusive club, because in the last ten years only seven other pilots have achieved it, in the last twenty years 20 pilots.

A look back: In late 2005, Eddie Jordan handed over his team, founded in 1991 and based in Silverstone, to Russian businessman Alexander Shnaider, who started the team as Midland. A year later, the team was called Spyker, from 2008 Force India. Eddie Jordan: “Shnaider, Spyker Team Principal Colin Kolles, and Force India’s Vijay Mallya did a great job under the circumstances. But I am particularly impressed with what Force India has achieved in recent years. “
Force India has been on a great run since 2008 – In brand ratings, these final ranks were achieved: 10th in 2008, then 9th, 7th, 6th in 2011, 7th, again 6th, again 6th in 2014, then 5th in 2015 , even fourth in 2016 and 2017, as “the best of the rest” behind the best teams. In 2018, the team ran into financial difficulties because Vijay Mallya was no longer willing to invest his own money; the Indian businessman was also affected by numerous processes. In mid-2018, the team was sold to Canadian businessman Lawrence Stroll, who renamed it Racing Point. Starting in 2021 the team will start as Aston Martin.
Lance Stroll secured fourth pole position for the Silverstone team, as our little stats show.
