The entire globe is affected in some way or the other now. After the devastating floods that hit the Emilia-Romagna region last May, Canada is now the latest victim of force majeure. Wildfires have been raging across Canada and Quebec. Resultantly, the air quality and the lives of the residents have been jeopardized. But the sport of Formula 1 has always shown solidarity with the community and home hero, Lance Stroll has taken yet another step to prove this.

The Canadian national will be partaking in the Grand Prix this weekend on the streets of Montreal. And while his focus will admittedly be on the race at hand, the 24-year-old Aston Martin driver has spared an effort or two for the North American country. This comes hot at the heels of Charles Leclerc‘s $380,000 worth effort to secure relief for the Emilia-Romagna region.

Lance Stroll pledges race-worn memorabilia for hometown cause

Stroll is a fan favorite in Canada, and understandably so! However, the interest in this race will be at an all-time peak owing to the progress Aston Martin has made in 2023. Hence, anything and everything attached to this race of his is priceless as far as his Canadian brethren are concerned.

That is exactly why he came onto his official Twitter account to share, “The wildfires across Quebec & Canada have been devastating. To help raise money and awareness for those affected, I’m auctioning my special edition helmet & race kit from the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix. Please see the link in my bio to bid on my race kit & help the Canadian Red Cross.”
