Force India can be one of F1's greatest teams, says owner Lawrence Stroll

Lawrence Stroll has lofty ambitions for his Force India team.

The Canadian billionaire purchased the team during the summer of 2018, saving it from administration in the process. His son Lance will join as one of its two drivers next season alongside the long-serving Sergio Perez.

In recent seasons Force India has been one of the strongest performers in the midfield pack despite limited resources compared to its nearest rivals. While there has been a big gap between the top three -- Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull -- in recent years, Stroll wants to see Force India close that gap before the next regulation change in 2021.
