Aston Martin F1 driver and Canada’s most successful Formula 1 driver, Lance Stroll, was spotted during an NHL match. The Canadian NHL is similar to the US NHL, where many club teams play ice hockey matches against each other. There was an ongoing rift between the US and Canada over tax and geopolitical issues.
During an ice hockey match between the USA and Canada, the Canadian fans booed the US national anthem. Canada won against the USA, and the crowd cheering went crazy. Even former Canadian president Justin Trudeau got emotional with the win and posted a tweet against the US government's plans of making Canada its 51st state.

The Canadians are so crazy about ice hockey, and so is Lance Stroll. He was a huge fan of Canada’s most famous ice hockey team, the Canadian Montreals. The Canadian F1 driver was seen with his friends and one of their babies. As Lance Stroll was shown, he started waving hands at the camera and also lifted the baby's hand sitting near him and gave a thumbs up.
His friends started making fun of him and joking around. Stroll has been the most successful driver in Canada after F1 legend Gilles Villenueve and his son and world champion Jacques Villenueve. Lance Stroll is now the only Canadian who has raced the most Formula 1 Grand Prix. Stroll is very popular around there, and he loves ice hockey.
Stroll is now getting ready for the 2025 Formula 1 season, with the first official race happening in Australia. The Aston Martin F1 team finished fifth last year, next to the top teams McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes. This year will be the final year of the Aston Martin and Mercedes partnership, and from 2026, they will partner with Honda for the power units. They have already signed Adrian Newey over a multi-year deal as managing technical partner.
