Formula One is steering toward becoming the Teenager Racing Series as Williams added another teenager to the racing mix for the series next year, making Canadian Lance Stroll one of their main drivers for 2017 after the recently announced retirement of Felipe Massa.
The 18-year-old Stroll, who was born in Montreal, signed a deal to race with Williams in 2017 and will join Valtteri Bottas on his new team and join Dutchman Max Verstappen on Red Bull as the second teenager in the series.
In 2016, won the lower-tier Formula 3 European Championship, winning 14 races with the Italian-based Prema Powerteam.
