⚠️ Important Context About This Profile
Lance Stroll represents an unusual case among modern F1 drivers. Unlike Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, or Charles Leclerc—who actively stream, compete in iRacing, and share equipment details—Stroll maintains an exclusively professional approach to simulation.
- No verified personal home sim rig for recreational use
- No iRacing profile, Twitch streaming, or esports participation
- Explicitly stated in 2021 that sim racing "isn't something that appeals" to him
- Did not participate in F1 Virtual GPs during 2020 lockdowns
The equipment documented below refers to professional team simulators and reported private training infrastructure—not a recreational setup. Verification levels vary; read confidence badges carefully.

🕹️ Team Rig – Component Details
[Wheelbase] Simucube 2 Pro 25Nm VerifiedTeam
The Simucube 2 Pro is the gold standard for high-end commercial simulators. Known for its advanced signal processing filters, it creates a consistent, reliable experience ideal for professional training environments. Unlike the "raw" industrial feel of Leo Bodnar systems, the Simucube provides a more refined, filtered sensation.
[Steering Wheel] Rexing Mayaris Formula VerifiedTeam
Full carbon fiber Formula-style wheel with integrated display and illuminated buttons. A versatile wheel capable of handling F1, GT, and LMP profiles. Pre-configured for F1 25 game compatibility with team simulator setups.
[Pedals] Heusinkveld Ultimate+ VerifiedTeam
High-end load cell pedals measuring force rather than travel. Customizable elastomer stacks allow engineers to create progressive brake curves—soft initial bite followed by a hard wall, simulating carbon brake disc feel. While excellent, load cells lack the dynamic fluid feel of real hydraulic systems.
[Motion] D-BOX Gen 5 2250i Haptic System VerifiedTeam
Unlike large motion platforms that sweep the entire rig, D-BOX uses four electromechanical actuators for high-frequency haptic feedback. The system reproduces frequencies between 0Hz-100Hz with negligible latency—simulating road texture, curb strikes, tire scrub sensation, and engine harmonics through the chassis.
[Cockpit] AMR25 Full-Scale Replica Monocoque VerifiedTeam
This is not a standard aluminum extrusion rig—it's a composite monocoque replicating the driver's "eye-point" down to the millimeter. The geometric fidelity ensures proprioception transfers correctly; Stroll instinctively knows where the car's corners are. Front wing and nose cone included for psychological immersion.

🔧 Private Rig – Component Details
[Wheelbase] Leo Bodnar SimSteering 2 ~26Nm ReportedPrivate
Unlike the consumer-focused Simucube, the Leo Bodnar system is built around a Kollmorgen AKM industrial servo motor—the same class used in robotics and automation. Known for transmitting every spike of data unfiltered, it provides a "brutal" experience that ruthlessly exposes driving errors. Preferred by professionals for serious training.
[Pedals] CP-S Hydraulic with AP Racing Master Cylinders ReportedPrivate
This system addresses load cell limitations by using genuine AP Racing master cylinders. The pedal pushes a piston into brake fluid, providing true hydrodynamic feedback—including the pressure build-up and slight "give" as fluid compresses. Electronically adjustable positioning allows millimeter-precision ergonomic changes.
[Cockpit] Cool Performance Formula Simulator ReportedPrivate
Unlike the enclosed monocoque of the team rig, the CP Formula uses a tubular steel spaceframe prioritizing accessibility and adjustability. The "side-mounting" of the steering motor allows for extreme "high knees" F1 seating without structural obstruction. ~120kg gross weight acts as a damper, preventing vibration during curb strikes.

"iRacing, too—another hobby honed by several current F1 drivers over lockdown—isn't something that appeals."— Lance Stroll, 2021 Interview
- F1 Virtual GP (2020): Racing Point confirmed their race drivers would not compete. Team fielded David Schumacher and musician Simon Neil instead.
- 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual: No evidence of participation in 2020, 2022, or 2023 editions.
- iRacing: No documented iRacing profile. A Reddit post claimed to find him in iRacing (2024), but this remains unverified.
- Gaming Preference (2019): Stroll said he plays F1 games casually, prefers cockpit view, doesn't race under his own name, and picks Hamilton's Mercedes because "it's the better car."
💭 Philosophy & Team Use
"I was in the sim yesterday, the day before, I'm feeling pretty strong. We turned up the steering strength and I felt good winding on the lock."— Lance Stroll on testing his broken wrist recovery (Bahrain GP 2023)
"We have a new simulator that's now operational."— Lance Stroll on Aston Martin's upgraded DiL facility (Early 2025)
Stroll has logged approximately 20+ hours of simulator work during the 2023 wrist recovery alone. His simulator use is documented primarily through team statements about testing, setup correlation, and injury rehabilitation—not recreational content.
At Aston Martin's AMTC (AMR Technology Campus), Stroll uses a full-scale engineering simulator running rFpro software for car development. Simulator driver Dani Juncadella declared the new facility "even better than McLaren's" in late 2024 after upgrades funded by Lawrence Stroll's investment program.
