Aston Martin chief Mike Krack believes "people underestimate how good" Lance Stroll is as he backed the Canadian to hold his own against Fernando Alonso next season.
The oldest current racer in Formula 1 will join the Silverstone outfit from next season. Despite being 41 years old, the Spaniard's desire to compete remains as strong as ever – evidenced by his decision to quit Alpine for a multi-year deal with Aston Martin.
That move will provide Stroll with another stern test when it comes to holding his own against his team-mate. After two years with four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, the German's replacement is another multi-title-winning driver with bags of experience.
