Motorsport: Williams F1 rookie Stroll drives for Jota at Daytona

FORMULA ONE’S Lance Stroll will race for Jota-run Jackie Chan DC Racing squad in next month’s Daytona 24 Hours.

The 19-year-old Williams driver, who has just completed his maiden season in F1, will be representing the Frant-based team for the first time.

The Canadian will drive the LMP2 Oreca with former colleagues Felix Rosenqvist, Daniel Juncadella and Robin Frijns at the IMSA SportsCar opener on January 27-28.

Stroll told Autosport: “I’ll be out there with some of my buddies in the same car, and it’s going to be a pleasure to do this race again because I just love to race.”

“We are the four young guns so it will be great fun, I’m sure, because we go way back together.”

Jota director David Clark described the line-up as ‘very exciting’, saying: “Lance, Felix, Daniel and Robin are a collection of some of the finest young talents to emerge in recent years.

“To have them all in the same car for such an important race like Daytona is a milestone in Jota’s history.”
