At the age of 24, and despite his dad owning Aston Martin, Lance Stroll is
reportedly considering retirement from Formula 1.
據傳年僅24歲的Aston Martin車隊少東Lance Stroll正考慮從F1退役。
The rumour came from Ben Anderson on The Race podcast, who revealed that the
Canadian is contemplating leaving the wheel to try his hand at professional
tennis.
The journalist and former editor of GP Racing magazine, released the
information, claiming that the 'culprit' is Fernando Alonso.
"He's too far behind his teammate at Aston Martin but, in reality, he's
probably only leaving the team voluntarily because he has an automatically
renewable contract thanks to his father," he said.
GP Racing雜志前編輯Ben Anderson在The Race podcast上爆料加拿大車手正考慮從F1退
役,並嘗試從事職業網球選手。Anderson也說到Stroll與Alonso在Aston Martin車隊的
差距過大,但Stroll因父親的關係,車隊會自動與他續約,唯一能離開車隊的方法便是
自願離隊。
In light of this, Lance Stroll could switch sports and take up a racket:
"There are some reports that he is considering a switch to professional
tennis, so if he leaves Aston Martin, that would open up a place to take his
seat," Ben Anderson stressed.
Anderson説到Lance Stroll可能選擇轉換跑道並拿起球拍,當他離開車隊時將會有一個
車手席位空缺出來.

As for the candidates on the British team's shortlist, they would be
graduates of Red Bull's driver academy.
英國車隊考慮著來自Red Bull青訓體系出道的車手。
"If that's the case, in theory the seat would be vacant for the 2024 or 2025
season, and there are some who are ahead in the queue like Daniel Ricciardo,
and behind him would be Alex Albon or Yuki Tsunoda, who are drivers who have
a close relationship with Honda, who will be supplying Aston Martin's engines
from 2026 onwards.
若是這樣,Daniel Ricciardo, Alex Albon或角田裕毅因與本田的關係將成爲Aston
Martin的下一位車手。
"But the team wouldn't be closed to other options either, such as Oscar
Piastri, who is making a big impression as a rookie; and after his McLaren
contract is up, he's certainly someone you'd like to listen to and talk to."
在處子賽季中令人印象深刻的Oscar Piastri,在和McLaren車隊的合約結束后將是炙手
可熱的車手人選。
