Ferrari sign 11-year-old prodigy Lance Stroll

The Ferrari team is the most successful in Grand Prix racing
Ferrari have signed up 11-year-old Lance Stroll as the youngest member of their driver academy.

Ferrari set up the academy last year to help young drivers progress from karting through to Formula 1.

Stroll, from Montreal, has twice won the Canadian national championship in the Rotax Mini Max category.

"He is very young but he has already shown in karting he is exceptionally talented," said Ferrari's academy head Luca Baldisserri.

"We will follow him step by step in his forthcoming events in North America and he will soon also take part in our courses at Maranello."

Last year, Stroll finished sixth in the World Finals at Lonato in the Mini Roc category and second in the Rotax Micro Max Florida Winter Tour.

In 2008 he was nominated by the Federation Sport Automobile du Quebec as Rookie of the Year and Driver of the Year the following year.
