Williams expecting 'really big step' from Lance Stroll in 2018

Williams believes Lance Stroll can have a "phenomenal" second season in Formula One.

Canadian driver Stroll made his debut aged 18 and, despite a tricky start to his rookie season, managed to secure a podium -- making him the only driver outside of Mercedes, Ferrari or Red Bull to do so in 2017. Having spent much of that campaign learning circuits he had not raced on before the team is excited to see how he fares with a year of experience under his belt.

"I think that Lance will approach his second season in a completely different place to his first," Williams technical chief Paddy Lowe told ESPN.
