Four days before we recently sat down with him, Lawrence Stroll delivered two press conferences in a day. That’s not uncommon for a billionaire in the public eye with multiple business interests, yet these two press conferences were continents apart.

At 11am Tokyo time, he announced a new engine supply deal with Honda for his Aston Martin Formula 1 team, a deal he hopes will enable Aston Martin to challenge for championships. 

As soon as that was done, he got in his private jet and headed back west, to Monaco.
