The Villeneuve family may have held a stronghold over points scoring and podium finishes by Canadians, but with Lance Stroll's entry onto the scene, that has now changed. It might still be early days for Stroll in the sport, with two seasons under his belt, so it remains to be seen if he will gather more accolades or not. For now, he remains the second youngest driver to finish on the podium.

He jumped into the limelight after his successful Euro F3 Series campaign saw him crowned a champion and he had already won the Italian F4 and the Toyota Racing Series previously. Deciding to make the leap to Formula One directly, he signed a contract with Williams Racing to be their driver for the 2017 season.

It was during his first home race when he brought the car home in points. Azerbaijan Grand Prix came next, and he kept a calm head throughout the chaotic race to finish third. He might have held on to second place if Valtteri Bottas hadn’t snatched the position from him in the ending stages of the race.
