Lance Stroll believes the results from the first half of his rookie season proves his family has not simply paid for a spot on the Formula One grid.
Eighteen-year-old Stroll joined Williams this year after completing private tests for the team in old cars in 2016. The Canadian has had a mixed start to his career, with a tough early spell of races followed by a brilliant drive to third in Azerbaijan, falling just shy of Max Verstappen's record as the youngest to make the podium in F1 history.
Billionaire Lawrence Stroll, listed #782 in Forbes' rich list, has been a major backer of his son's career, leading to some labelling his son with the negative 'pay driver' label.
