Presented by Degree
MontrealRacing.com was invited to an exclusive press conference with rookie Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll held in Montreal on Tuesday June 6th. This event was organized by Williams Racing and Degree in an effort to bring an immersive experience to consumers and fans. Lance is the first Canadian driver participating in Formula 1 since the departure of former world champion Jacques Villeneuve who departed after the 2006 season.
In preparation for this event, MontrealRacing.com had invited you, its readers, to suggest questions to be asked. MontrealRacing.com editor in chief Danny Geraghty sat down Lance on Tuesday for the one on one interview and to deliver the winning questions from members b-sidemX6, CRNKY, Gregster and Jelly_Belly.
How hard is it to deal with the G Forces during a race? Do you have special training for that?
What’s your workout routine and diet to keep in shape for the races?
Explain the effect of having Phillipe Massa, a driver of immense talent and experience as a team mate. Is the relationship strictly professional or are you friends as well.
Do you own a car and if not what would you like to own as a daily driver.
As part of the ambition to bring fans and consumers closer to the heart of F1®, and give an insight to the local driver Lance Stroll’s homecoming, team sponsor Degree is creating a behind-the-scenes film of Lance’s homecoming race week experience, expected to launch on Sunday prior to the race
Lance said “I think there is a positive pressure racing at home, you have to focus on the fans and the positive energy that you receive from them, so far this week in Montreal it’s been very positive and a good lead up to the Grand Prix. That’s what I’m focusing my attention on and I’m looking forward to seeing some Canadian flags in the Grandstand this weekend. It’s great that partners like Degree can bring a different view of that excitement to the fans through activity and content around the race.”
