Thanks to 16 points finishes over 18 races,

seven wins and five second places, Canadian

Ferrari Driving Academy youngster Lance

Stroll put together an impressive season,

cruising to an early title in the first‐ever

Italian F.4 championship on his Prema‐

prepared Tatuus car. It's been a crushing

victory for the 15‐year‐old, who was making

his first steps in open‐wheel racing. During

the tough 2014 season, many Italian rivals

tried to beat him but Stroll eventually

proved unstoppable. Coming from an

international‐level karting career spent in

several high‐level international

championship, he fit in immediately and

found himself well‐suited by his car. After

winter testing, he opened the year with a

win at Adria, in round 1 of 2014. From that

point on, his run was almost faultless with

more wins, podiums and points finishes.

Stroll was unable to secure wins in only one

round, at Monza, but accomplished the

feature at Imola (two wins), Mugello (one

win), Magione (one win) and Vallelunga

(two wins). He also started from the pole

five times. Despite missing the grand finale

of Imola, as he had already been crowned

Champion, Stroll totaled 331 points, almost

100 more than runner‐up Mattia Drudi (237).

In 2015, Stroll will stay with Prema and FDA,

moving to the demanding FIA F.3 European

Championship.
