Lance Stroll: Wet conditions allowed me to drive naturally

MONZA, Italy -- Lance Stroll believes the wet weather conditions during qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix allowed him to show more of his natural talent than at previous rounds.

Stroll was fourth fastest in qualifying but will start second on Sunday's grid once penalties for both Red Bull drivers have been applied, making him the youngest driver ever to start on the front row at a grand prix.

The 18-year-old made the switch from Formula 3 to F1 this year, and while he has struggled for results on occasion, he has also shown flashes of brilliance -- such as his podium at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
