As the F1 circus travels to North America again for the Canadian GP, Lance Stroll has got fans excited with the “most Canadian thing ever”. Stroll did an exhibition photoshoot in a Formula 4 car in a Tim Hortons livery and overalls in front of one of the brand’s restaurants. For the unaware, Tim Hortons is a popular fast-food chain based in Canada.
Being the only Canadian driver on the F1 grid currently, the Aston Martin driver has started building hype for his home race in Montreal. This promotional shoot for Tim Hortons seems to be part of the same.
As seen on Reddit, the Formula 4 car was in bright red and white colors, the same as the Tim Hortons brand. Moreover, Stroll‘s overalls and helmet also highlighted the same. The #18 driver posed in front of the restaurant and fans loved this crossover between the Canadian food chain and F1.

Many have reacted on social media how this promotional shoot is “peak Canada” flavor before the Canadian GP. Some also suggested how Stroll may have stopped over to pick some flatbread pizza which is one of the specialties at Tim Hortons. While the 25-year-old is the only Canadian on the grid, many of his peers love the Montreal race.
So, going into what could be a rather entertaining Grand Prix weekend, Stroll may get a lot of running gags and comments from his peer drivers about this shoot. For now, the fans are enjoying the Canadian vibe the Aston Martin driver has stimulated.

It would be interesting to see if he can carry the same positive energy into the Grand Prix weekend for Aston Martin. Currently, sitting 11th in the drivers’ standings with 11 points, Stroll needs a big boost of a result to bring his season back on track.
