Really starting to question how much papa Stroll is going to throw money at the team until he accepts that his own son is keeping the team back. It doesn't matter if you give Stroll the best car he's not going to win the WDC and he's also a liability when it comes to the WCC.

Yup. It was clear to me that the Racing Point they had years ago (you know, the year they shamelessly copied Merc's design) was the second best car on the grid, but neither Stroll nor Perez could properly take advantage of it. Call me crazy, but I reckon if Hamilton were in that car, he'd still have won WDC.

If Stroll were anybody but the team owner's son, he'd have been gone long ago. I admire that Lawrence loves his son so much, though.
