Looks more competitive Stroll finished 17th at the Miami Grand Prix F1 race at Miami International Autodrome on Sunday.

Impact The Aston Martin improved its reliability during the long break before the Miami Grand Prix, though the car was still not particularly competitive.

Stroll won't be a contender for points anytime soon, but this was his most promising weekend of the season.

Completes only nine laps Stroll was forced to retire after nine laps from the Chinese Grand Prix F1 race at Shanghai International Circuit on Sunday.

Impact Stroll's horrific start to the 2025 season continued, as vibrations in his Aston Martin remained. He has run only 52 out of a possible 118 laps across the first two races of the season.

Minimal running in Australia Stroll was not classified in the Australian Grand Prix F1 race at Albert Park Circuit on Sunday.

Impact Aston Martin was known to be in a significant hole heading into the weekend, and Stroll was rarely on the track. He ran only 16 laps combined across the three practice sessions and did not participate at all in qualifying. Stroll did manage to complete 43 laps on race day, double that of teammate Fernando Alonso, but it was an underwhelming weekend. Things aren't likely to get much better for Aston Martin during the Chinese Grand Prix.

Finds point in Abu Dhabi Stroll finished 10th in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix F1 race at Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday.

Impact Stroll started 15th on the grid after another underwhelming showing in qualifying. However, he and Aston Martin got the strategy right, as Stroll started the race on hard tires and was the second-to-last driver to pit. That allowed him to gain track position, which he maintained in a short second stint. Stroll was hit with a five-second penalty late in the race while defending a position from Carlos Sainz Jr., but he still managed to pick up his first point since the Dutch Grand Prix in late August. It was a positive close to an otherwise poor season, as Stroll managed to tally only 33 points.

His Aston Martin didn't have the pace to contend for points, but any chance of a good finish was immediately ended by Gabriel Bortoleto, who collided into Stroll on the opening lap. Bortoleto was handed a five-place grid penalty for the Qatar Grand Prix, but that is little consolation for Stroll, who has now gone seven races without points.

Impact Stroll was eliminated in Q1, putting him in a position he couldn't recover from on race day.

Despite starting 19th, Stroll benefited from good fortune on race day, as he pitted early and undercut the field prior to a safety car. That gave Stroll track position that he was able to maintain for his third points finish in his last four grand prix.
