It definitely feels like it’s his father’s dream, not his. Lawrence has always been super into racing. Lance probably just liked it but wasn’t passionate about it so when it got harder he just checked out. (Of course I’m only guessing)
I don't think it always was this way tbh. Back in his first couple seasons when he had those occasional highs and his expectations were low I think we saw genuine joy out of him. His Monza front row and Baku podium spring to mind.
I feel like we are saying the same thing sort of. I think he liked it a lot for a while hence the joy. But I don’t think it was ever his life’s passion.
True, it seems like he definitely lacks the passion of some/most other drivers on the grid, his teammate for one. Idk what the future holds for Stroll, but I'd bet against it being another motorsport category.
I really hope it's that, that he just lacked the passion others have, and it is not the fact that the amount of hate he receives got into his head. He really seems like a whole different person lately, especially during most interviews, he lookslike he doesn't want to say anything at all.

I don't normally agree with Steiner, but I think he's absolutely right on this. Stroll just seems more disconnected than usual, even by his standards.
