Lance Stroll "arrived in Formula One" when he scored his memorable maiden podium at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, says Williams chief technical officer Paddy Lowe.
Stroll was beaten across the finish line by Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas but still managed to claim third place, putting him on the podium in the eighth race of his Formula One career. The 18-year-old had scored the first points of his career on home soil in Canada at the previous race.
The teenager endured a tough start to his rookie campaign but Lowe insists his calm performance in Baku shows he has all the ingredients of a future star.
