What does Stroll have to say about the team’s new factory?

The Canadian billionaire took over Force India back in 2018 and branded it as Racing Point. For the 2021 season, they became Aston Martin. Seeing that they would like to fight for titles in F1, Stroll decided it would only be possible if the team’s facilities were upgraded.

Speaking of this, Stroll said, “It is a significant investment. It shows my belief in the team, confirms my ambition and confirms my belief in F1. [With] the current factory, [it] would have been difficult. We are adding temporary offices to house the constantly growing workforce we have. Communication isn’t the best as everyone is located at various parts of the factory.”

“The improvement in communications and research, development and design was a necessity. We could not continue to grow to the head count I want to grow to with the existing premises. Not possible. Full stop,” Stroll concluded.

With such a massive upgrade to their factory in the arsenal, what are your predictions for the British team for the 2022 season? Let us know in the comments below.
