Lance Stroll joked that he “better work on my backhand” and that he is not ready to take on the likes of Novak Djokovic as he laughed off rumours about a switch from F1 to Tennis.
The speculation comes amid a challenging 2023 season for Stroll, who is 102 points behind teammate“Well, if I'm going to go on tour, I’d better work on my backhand a little bit, because I don't think I'm quite at that level yet,” Stroll said when asked about the rumours at the Dutch Grand Prix.
“I mean, I like to think I'm pretty good. But I don't know if I'm ready to go up against [Novak] Djokovic and [Carlos] Alcaraz just yet. “It was like Crofty or someone who came up with that. He was having a few beers on the couch [at the] beginning of August, thinking about my tennis game. I don't know!
“Gotta ask him. That was an odd one. I don't know where he came up with that one. It was very creative. But, yeah, I haven't really thought about it, picking up tennis as a career.”“One day we're all going to wake up and make that decision, I think every driver on this grid," he said."But right now I'm thinking about the race tomorrow. For sure I want to keep racing. It's what I love to do.
Stroll lines up from 11th on the grid for Sunday’s race at Zandvoort, six positions behind Alonso, who goes from fifth.
