F1 TRACKS: Listen to Lance Stroll's takeover playlist
The first ever F1 Tracks driver takeover is here, with Racing Point's Lance Stroll having curated a playlist of his favourite tunes.
The Canadian is set for his second season with Racing Point in 2020 after finishing the 2019 season with a best position of P4 at the spectacular German Grand Prix to add to his podium in Azerbaijan in his rookie season.
He's pulled together some of his top tracks with a varied playlist for fans, including three songs by Red Hot Chili Peppers and three from the Rolling Stones, who prove to be his favourite artists.
