Pressure growing on Williams driver Lance Stroll

Williams technical director Paddy Lowe says one of the biggest challenges facing rookie driver Lance Stroll is the amount of pressure and expectation surrounding his first year in Formula One.

Stroll brings a significant budget to the Williams team and comes to Formula One off the back of title success in Formula 3 last season. In his first five races in F1 he has yet to score a point and at last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix he qualified over a second off teammate Felipe Massa before finishing the race behind the Brazilian, despite Massa pitting on the first lap with collision damage.
