Thank you for watching, hopefully you enjoyed it and if you did then don’t forget to comment drop a like and subscribe to the channel for more. Il see you in the next one, Aldas.
Lawrence even hired world champions to be his son wingman
He invested a lot for his son, I'm so touched :')
Lawrence is the one that's touched.
He basically got an f1 team for him.
Lance retired Massa, Vettel and next Alonso
@@Aldas001well Massa was supposed to retire, but his retirement got delayed for one more season
Your dad buying and running an F1 team so you can get a seat has to be one of the most expensive and coolest birthday gifts I've ever seen
I think Lawrence tries to help Lance with the teammates. To improve from them, but I don't think he can
Yeah, i think they need to pair him w/ a rookie who puts a fire under his ass. Lance getting beaten by multiple world champions has made him complacent.
Also getting beaten by Vettel and Alonso looks much better than getting beaten by a decent midfielder, so I think having those teammates gives him even more leeway to driving without pressure.
Imagine getting beaten by a rookie
Time for him to retire then...
@windfall 😂 😂😂
@@miggygetright6344 - Lance also got beat by Massa and Perez when they were teammates.
His biggest advantage and disadvantage at the same time was his father buying the team he was in. It removed the pressure of a seat fight. Without that he lacks the incentive to get better than he is right now.
The problem lies in the very beginning of Lance's F1 career. Dad bought an $80 million seat at Williams and "rushed" his son into F1. Lance needed more time in F2 to build up his race-craft....but that didn't happen.....hence is why is where we are at with Lance Stroll.
Even niki lauda, a rich kid back in the day had to take a loan to get started in F1, you can't have your dad buy your way into this shit and expect to win people with more determination.
I have waited for this kind of video 🤣 you pretty much nailed it.
I agree with basically every point raised in this video, I truly won’t believe that Lance is any more than average if he doesn’t take his career into his own hands and leave his fathers nest.
Quite frankly, if Lance became available to sign tomorrow .. what teams would be racing to sign him? No one.
He’s very good at squeezing points out of bad cars, despite his super inconsistent qualifying and he’s a very good wheel to wheel racer despite his dumb mistakes sometimes. A team like haas or Williams would be dumb not to sign him if he was available
I would bet my house that last year he would’ve score more points than Albon on the williams
I paid close attention to his races last year, with a bit more luck he would’ve score almost double the points he had. His average finishing position was decent just behind vettel who also did very well.
But Alonso is a different beast right now. It’s time to step up or at least keep up and if not step aside.
Lance sure looked like he had the measure of Sainz passing him on the outside this past weekend in Jedda.
Lance sure looked like Mazepin after hitting other drivers and crashing himself out this weekend in Monaco.... And doing it with the second fastest car on the grid, how embarrassing.
The issue Lawrence has to face is he can’t just sack his son. (He can but I don’t think any father would want to fire their own son) so he instead is getting the team to the best it can be so either 1. Aston ends up starting a dynasty like Merc did so the car is so good you don’t have to even worry about Lance holding up the team or 2. He just waits for Lance to leave or retire and then they can fight.
Took years for Dick Johnson to take his son out of his race seat in the Aussie V8 championship. But they had financial stress and new partners waiting in the wings(inc Roger Penske), so Dick had to show that he was serious about taking the next step. Only Lawrence and rest of AM management know what their long term plan is and how young Stroll fits into that.
He isnt as bad as people think although in recent years he hasn't improved, if he was in any other team he wouldve been dropped
I agree that it feels like he just hasn't kicked on. I keep expecting progress and nothing. His race starts are unreal though!
Honestly a few years ago i would have been with ya there... but sir lancelot has proven his worth imo. I see no reason for speculating... give him a chance in a race winning car and if he underperforms THEN we can talk about how much of a limiting factor him being there is.
I like lance. I want the best for him. However everything in this video is 100% accurate.
Only as long as senior still owns it.
In contracts "lifetime" isnt actually what it says, but 15 years iirc
Don't really think it's lifetime contract.
More like *Until Lawrence Sold/Leave the team* .
I swear the FIA need to introduce a thing that says "Just because your son drives for the team you own doesn't mean he should keep his seat without question"
What is the name of the song in the background??
The way the world works!
If you have money buy anything you want to do want you and your closed circle wants
A 40 year old Alonso is standing on podium while a younger driver can't catch up to Merc who are behind Aston Martin. Give the seat to someone who deserves it
Probably hear “Lance Stroll is a good driver” 10 times a year throughout F1. Still feels like fans still need to be convinced that he is…which is saying something.
Until lance becomes the limiting factor he will plod on where he is.
He could easily be a no2.
Hahah looks like Lance had seen this video and wanted to prove it wrong this year. But on serious not, you said that Lawrence invested milion dollars because he wanted Lance to become champion. I see it kinda opposite. Lawrence used Lance to get into F1 and became Contructor Champions. And let's be honest, Lance is solid n.2 driver.
He needs to prove it!
So far, Lance showed poor race-craft, which will not be tolerated this year!
Comments that didn't age....
If I had a son who was able to drive a Formula 1 car, and had enough skills to be in Formula 1.
I would absolutely be funding their career no matter how "rubbish" the general public think that he is.
Yeah of course. There's nothing wrong with a dad just making sure his son does what he loves. I mean what's the use of all that money otherwise? Besides he's decent. So no matter how much we complain, it doesn't really matter
Exactly. I think his critics might be too harsh. Yes I don’t see him ever being world champion but I think if he keeps progressing and learning from Alonso this year, then you next year I see him fighting for a podium for a good majority of the 2024 season
And have the money.
And score is 31 to 9 after 2024 Chinese GP. So yeah lawrence should be proud. Since lance is such a great driver. That fight against haas for p18 was epic. Looking forward for more of his fights against haas for p16-p20 while Alonso is carrying this team on his back
At this point you are just waisting money, how long has it been? 5 years? KEK W
Lance will leave when he wants to. However, I think Lance is a solid driver. He is definitely fast enough and puts some good performances. He just negates all that work by making rookie mistakes. If he works on that, then I wouldn't be surprised if he finishes just 1 or 2 places behind Alonso.
Iono Alonso has a specialty of driving past the limit of a shitbox, but we’ll see
thing is as well, Aston is still in its recovery, I reckon as long as Lance can grow as the team grows he'll do great stuff, I find it weird how people say he's not that good when he held up pretty well against Vettel, plus when he was up against sergio, he was still new to the team whilst sergio was their home boy for many years, and he still got podiums and a pole in 2020.
also its easy to say it was the third best car in 2020 but Mercedes was 1-2 seconds faster the entire season than the 2nd fastest team so there wasnt loads of opportunities for them (Monza, and Sakhir the exceptions)
I think Lance will be moved to WEC when the factory is complete or when Aston becomes competitive enough that having Lance driving becomes a dead end, unless he can prove that he can be a good №2 which thus far, he hasn't.
@@Jozo7O Okay, but he's not that guy and everyone knows it. He's not George, Lando, Charles and Max and if you're not anything like that then ultimately you're not good enough, not if you or your team has championship aspirations that's really it tbh.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blankseven without the high aspirations, Lance's constant mistakes would not last him a seat anywhere in mid/bottom order. Mick, Grosjean, Danny Ric, Latifi all replaced.
The enormous wealth for Lance is his blessing and demise. He lacks hunger because he has never starved, lacks true desperation because he's never actually been helpless, he isn't workaholic because he's never have to work himself to absolute exhaustion day after day after day to achieve a goal far into the future, he's not a winner because his future has never depended on him winning (just perform good and that's it, different level of pressure). Lance is very self aware about his privileged upbringing and it shows that he feels kind of sad and sorry about it, he shouldn't apologise for being born in serious wealth, but he can do some work with some of that money to help people less fortunate. He doesn't seem to be the typical spoiled filthy rich kid, in fact seems very polite and a bit shy. So reasonably well raised in that context is awesome.
What Lance needs to succeed is to forge his character ASAP to fight that impostor syndrome so he can become a great driver. Currently he may say he wants to be world champion but he doesn't really believe it. I'd say Lance Stroll needs to somehow Nico Rosberg himself as a driver.
Quite a few of the top people in sports come from wealth. Take a look at all the other drivers and the upcoming drivers. For a parent to invest in most of these sports requires a ton of money. He's not limited by hunger, he's just not *as* talented as the others. It happens. Some people are mediocre compared to their peers. That's okay. The difference here is that his dad can afford to keep him on and not give up the seat to someone more deserving/qualified.
Lando Norris is quite a good counterpoint to Lance Stroll. He also comes from a very wealthy family, but if he didn’t perform at McLaren, his position would be in jeopardy. Lance (not my mate, but didn’t want to call him Stroll Jr.) doesn’t have that jeopardy, so perhaps there is no need to constantly improve every weakness. It may also affect how seriously people take Lance in the team, or how much they are prepared to challenge him.
We’ve seen at his best, Lance can get poles and podiums. We’ll only find out if he has the consistency to be in a top team when Aston Martin get there. I don’t think he will ever be a title challenger, but if Aston Martin have one of the quickest cars next season, Alonso will be. If Lance gets exposed fighting Perez, Sainz etc. then any other team would replace him with someone who can mix it up there.
If the AM car becomes legitimately competitive in the upper end of the midfield in the next season or two, Lance needs to lose his seat to a more accomplished driver. Alonso will get the most of the AM from the start, but as stated in the video, Lance usually has a few good results a season, inconsistent results the rest of the time. Lance could easily go drive sports cars or something to make way for a more competitive driver, if the AM is in position to get Best of the Rest in the next couple seasons. Is Stroll Sr that delusional about his son's F1 ability? Lance is fine in the AM for 2023, but beyond that, he may hold the team back.
Exactly. Lance will never improve, because his entire life and driver career is based on complacency. No amount of putting him next to F1 legends will change that.
@@antoniog8276 it's not about coming from wealth, like you said, quite a few came from wealth, but Lance literally owns a team, that's way different
"He is still there...chilling"
I didnt know lance was chill like that
Bing chilling?
he is Canadian after all
known for being calm and cold
I'd say that's both definitions of chilling
This aged like milk.
This Aldas guy spent years of watching F1 without learning that much..
Why?
Aged perfectly
Only the fear of getting fired can make you improve and he lacks that obviously
He’s good enough for F1 but he honestly shouldn’t still have a seat considering everyone else that’s better without a seat
I still can't get over the 'energy button moment' during the British GP 2020
We’re in 2023 bro
@@f1usa654
But he's right, Lance makes silly mistakes!
Stroll and Albon together at Williams would be an interesting comparison and lineup.
I´d rate Albon
Albon is a better driver, but I really don't think Stroll is very lacking at all. He's probably the 3rd or 4th best #2 on the grid.
Having your dad hang out with you doing things you like and not only pour money in but also his time to develop the team into a race winning team, it’s one of those really heart-warming father son journey.
BUT, I think Lawrence knows deep down that he needs to light a fire under Lance. Not to justify his investment but to get Lance to his full potential. Sadly that probably means he’ll have to stop protecting Lance’s place in the team and get him hungry and desperate. Probably one of the hardest thing for him to do as a father but I also have a feeling that Alonso could light that fire.
"Lance, this is lawrence, alonso is faster than you, please confirm that you understand this message"
I think his skills and changing conditions would translate well to IndyCar
Hopefully he's not too proud to transition over to Indycar
Lance and Seb had like the closest qualifying delta average out of all the teams, and in race pace was also essentially the same. I think this view of stroll you've shown is incredibly surface level in my opinion. I'm hoping Lance can carry on from Bahrain and show that whilst he's no world champion, he's certainly capable of the success of Checo and Sainz. Especially considering how young he is.
Lol as long as Lawrence is in F1, I’d say yep 🤷🏻♂️
I wonder if, by any miracle, Stroll jr. became a great driver out of nowhere, and a team like Mercedes decided to hire him to, say, replace a retiring Hamilton, if Lawrence would immediately proceed to sell Aston Martin. Meaning, the billionaire man set up a Formula One team to entertain his son's dreams.
Doesn’t sound too farfetched for a Ferrari collector…
8:37 …. “Hypothetically”.. this aged well XD
I think the reason Lance hasn't progressed is because he knows he's never losing that seat. The best thing Lawrence could do for his son is to tell him he's out next year if he doesn't come close to Alonso.
I bet you'd finally see Lance make some progress. Like you said, he's not Latifi bad, but he's never had a reason to get better. Especially when other young drivers like Russell, Leclerc, and Norris have come in and gotten better and better every season.
I'm not a fan of either Stroll, but in F1, if you're not performing and achieving results, you're out.
This is not the case here
I think 2020 Lance Stroll had a glimpse he was developing as a driver. Look at the start of that year. However the crash at the Tuscan grand Prix stunted that along with him getting covid that year. He's never been able to find that form since
I really hope he finds that in him again, he was p4 in the championship at one point. If he didnt bottle the monza restart or get damage in istanbul he would of had two great chances at a victory
He just had evolutions before Pérez!
@@vinceventresca6719
He was inform because Pérez missed 2 races and had the new package prior!
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 after tuscany both with 2 dnfs: lance p6 with 57 points, checo p9 44 points. Wont disagree about the different packages
@@vinceventresca6719
Pérez with 2 raced missed because of covid.
This year should show how good Lance really is. As much as I like Seb, we all know he went to Aston after a dreadful year in Ferrari, so we do not actually know how strong Seb was at that point, but we do know that Alonso is close to his peak level.
Seb was good enough to beat Lance.
@paper plane 7 mechanical dnfs including quali vs 2 for ocon. Grow up chimptard
@paper plane Not sure what your point is, that's more Ocon being quality than Alonso being washed
@paper plane
Ocon beat Pérez both in qualifying and race in 2018 despite scoring less points.
He was also very close to Ricciardo by the end of 2020 in a car that didn't suited him.
Alonso isn't in his Prime anymore, but he's certainly not overrated in terms of driving skills, seasons such as 2012 proves it!
@paper plane
2012 is indeed overrated, but remains one of the best season by a driver in the last 30 years!
His race-craft was next level in a car that was a midfield force in some races.
As for Pérez, i agree he's not top notch, but still comfortably beat Lance despite being disadvantaged, while Ocon as a rookie immediately matched him in all areas.
You should take a look at the datas in 2020, Ocon drastically closed the gap with a car that didn't suit his driving style.
Even as an Alonso fan, I can never take this team seriously while they continue to give the bosses kid an unlimited contract. Lance has no incentive to improve or change his ways because he can never lose his seat. Never mind that they forgot to install a personality in him.
No one became a champion in life from sitting on their dads lap
Although he'll never admit it, but the Strolls presence is nothing short of nepotism. Although Lance Stroll has his moments, like a podium for Williams in Baku 2017 and a pole position at Turkey in 2020, is he consistent enough to challenge regularly? I'm not saying he's a bad driver, but I don't get the sense that he's consistent enough to stay in F1. Other drivers have been edged out with better consistency than he has, but due to his father Lawrence paying the bills, he is not challenged as such
Lance also gets the favouritism every year within the team
True. It’s been countless times he’s got the no1 driver treatment during races in terms of strategy throughput last few seasons. I wonder what the people within the AM team truly feels about that.
At least yesterday he managed it very good. You could argue that p6 vs Alonso's P3 is bad, but he missed all of testing and was still under visible pain. This weekend was maybe the best performance of him we have seen so far
I wonder if he pushed himself to drive before he was ready because he was intimidated by Drugovich
@@ma61king hope so, he might actually perform the way he should of been performing.
I think Lance stroll has race winning potential I actually quite like him as an Aston Martin fan might be the only person in f1 who thinks that but hey 😅🤷🏽♂️
Lance is a good midfield driver. Whether he can be more than that is an unknown, since we haven't seen him in a top car since junior formulas, of which he won three. So, based on that, I'd like to imagine Lance can step it up and be a good enough number 2 driver if Aston Martin become a top team. Maybe what Perez and Webber have been for Red Bull. But this is obviously the best case scenario for Lance (probably not even the most likely one), cuz I can't realistically see him get any higher than that though.
He makes some crazy mistakes a few times per year, but other than that I feel like he gets too much hate than he deserves for his performances. Tbf, he was getting a lot more hate before 2020, so where he stands right now with the fans seems great in comparison. I guess people have somewhat accepted him since 2020 because: 1) Latifi and Mazepin have reminded people what a bad pay driver actually is; 2) he's kept himself out of the bottom 3 drivers in each of the last 3 seasons, which is probably the bare minimum to not be perceived as a bad undeserving F1 driver.
He's hated because he's still there despite 7 years of mediocrity!
Don't saying he deserves it, especially considering he seems there more because of his father will!
Thanks Aldas for mentioning Hulkenberg beating Stroll in the very 1st race
They’ve let having Lance cost them Ocon (which may have been for the best given how he got on with Perez) and Perez. The crew at Aston Martin where so happy for Vettel and Perez at Baku 2021, I think that had Perez not gone to Redbull there’d be a lot of unrest in the team for having dropped him.
They should drop Lance just to show they’re serious, even if he isn’t actually being a hindrance, but I can’t see them ever winning with Lance there.
It’s not an environment Lance can really grow in, you shouldn’t live in fear but you do need pressure
At some point Lawrence will need to answer to shareholders. I completely understand wanting to help your son but at some point he needs to understand that his Lance is not cut out for the sport.
Nah, I would say Lance is good enough for now. He usually matched Seb's pace and sometimes even faster than Seb, and I said this as a huge Seb fan. He's so underrated in my opinion. He's definitely good enough for a midfield team like AM for me 😊
Officially he always gets an one-year-contract, but everyone knows, that it continues.
As a older F1 fan, I find your videos very professional. You have great story telling skills and documentary like analysis.
Yeah I don't dislike Lance, and no disrespect, like you said he's a solid midfield driver, but sometimes I do just forget he's there.. Hopefully he does somehow up his game. There are those drivers who spend much of their early careers being mediocre but find the speed in experience and maturity.
At this point I’m not sure if anything can help, because let’s say hypothetically he does beat Alonso this season, no matter how fair it was, people will always question of his dad’s involvement had to do with it, such as preferential treatment, but not only that, most other people (especially Alonso fans) wouldn’t believe it, blaming it on something like bad luck or strategy, as no one would be able to accept or comprehend that as a thought, almost as it being impossible
Then again Alonso fans claim favouritism or conspiracy against Alonso whenever Alonso doesn't get his way, so it doesn't make much of a difference to me.
@@ryanjonathanmartin3933
This is true and i always said Alonso was also responsible for the downfall of his career!
However, it's true that last year, he seemed genuinely sabotaged by his team, the amount of points he lost compared to his teammate was quite frankly ridiculous, especially given the situation.
I don't think Lance is mediocre. He's always had mediocre cars and has delivered a few very strong performances....
11th with the 3rd fastest car in 2020.
Haha, second best car in 2023 and he's complete trash. Let me guess...he needs another few years of learning and then he'll be a top driver? The excuses never stop with Stroll being garbage. 😂😂
Lawrence can't fire Lance but he can keep hiring former WDCs to destroy him on track until he decides to quit on his own
Don't take this too seriously this is from a meme
I like Lance, he’s a quick driver, low profile, he can be a solid point scorer every race with a good car
He's mediocre, beaten comfortably by all his teammates with silly mistakes yet still somehow in the sport!
Not that bad in terms of overall pace, but a clear lack of skills and determination.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 I agree but just wanna say that he’s almost always been the 2 driver anyways. He’s not there to win a championship but with a fast car score points every weekend. As far as my memory recalls he’s had as teammates: Massa, Kubica, Vettel, Hulkenberg, Perez and Alonso now. None of those drivers mentioned before were rookies or drivers with barely F1 experience
@@jibsydan
Scoring points will not be enough if Aston Martin keeps improving!
He needs to beat the Mercedes or his seat may be in danger!
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 that would be a future problem if they end up having a car close to RB. As of right now with the car, seems to me that stroll can compete and add point while Fernando makes a real push for it
At what point do we say that nepotism in the sport is a problem? On one end, it’s great that papa stroll gave his son a seat and literally bought an F1 team. But on the other end, what exactly is lance strolls goal? I’ve never heard him say “yea we’re gonna fight hard and one day I’m gonna challenge for a WDC”. Stroll is good on his day, but 80% of the time he’s just taking up space or causing collisions basically latifi 2.0
🇹🇹Nepotism will never replace intrinsic raw desire, it can only mimick it. Non of my racing teams suck!🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🏁🏴🏆🥇😉👞⌚👔💼📘.
Funny how F1 is always perceived as the pinnacle of motorsport and yet nepotism is such common thing at that level. It also shows in my opinion how the concept of "only the best ones are in F1" is just a myth. Anyways, looking forward to the next race!
Lance is not a 'good driver' in F1 terms, he also is not a horrible driver. What he is is a slightly below average driver, he really is bottom half driver. Not a back marker but also not a challenger.
He is there 100% because of his dad, that doesn't mean he was not deserving of getting his seat but after this long with the racing he's done he is not deserving of keeping his seat.
If Aston Martin wants to be a championship contender they need to attract young talented driver rather than old soon to be retire drivers, and fire Lance Stroll
So they do have a reserve drive but also if they want They can invest into young drivers Fernando looking after in his A14 management. Maybe
So he's not a bad driver, but as you point out:
1) he's a terrible qualifier
2) he's the very definition of inconsistent
3) we haven't seen him develop and improve as a driver
If it just rains all year he’ll do very well.
I’m Canadian and he’s not a bad driver I just see him as the NPC of F1
And his 'salary' is basically just his allowance
Lance is good for a lower tier team but if papa stroll wants to win a good constructors spot he’s going to have to drop his son. Or buy lance a seat at haas and let aston martin be driven by not just alonso but 2 competent drivers.
I'd rather see Lance in Ferrari
had Ferrari held him on instead of Lawrence, he'd actually develop himself far more, knowing how much pressure Ferrari has
He’s good enough to be in F1 but isn’t special.
He also drives like he’s the only one on track and that people will get out the way for him.
Lance isn't going to get any better than he is now in my honest opinion. If Alonso dominates him this season then Lawrence Stroll, who often avoids media scrutiny, is going to come under a lot of external pressure to either justify keeping Lance's seat, or demote his son to reserve driver and give someone else a shot alongside Alonso.
Lance has an attention span problem. His starts are often great, but when it get's "dull" in the race, he starts making mistakes!
The fact that there hasn't been any substantial growth from Lance as a driver is probably the most searing point. It's starts to become a shame for those exciting F2 prospects.
I think you hit the nail on the head at 5:15 when you said "He hasn't shown he can raise his game [...] when the pressure gets higher."
That's the problem. For Lance, the pressure DOESN'T get higher. Every driver on the grid, even the best ones to a lesser extent, know that if they stop delivering the level that's expected of them, sooner or later, they'll be let go for someone else. That's not the case for Lance. Almost whatever he does, he'll have a seat. He doesn't need to perform, he doesn't have that's extra pressure that every other driver has.
Imagine Aston Martin makes a race winning car and they have to give team orders for Lance to move over for Alonso because he’s too slow
I can see Aston going in 2 directions. Either an f1 team trying to win and be at the top. Or they are simply just in it for the money I hope they give more young drivers a shot
I would love to see Felipe Drugovich getting a chance
I really think Lawrence needs to employ some tough love and sned Lance to finishing school - namely a lesser team to learn and improve - especially if Aston want to be a championship team. He's just not consistent enough to back up a Fernando or other superior driver if they are ever in a championship fighting season.
The way he races you'd think they call him Lance "Going for a" Stroll.
At least he is getting worse and worse, like Ricciardo.
Lance not good enough never will be & keeps making rookie mistakes & very inconsistent
where did you get that sound from? its rlly chill would like to have it for personal listening !
Search: Valante - Reni
@@Aldas001 ty soo much
as much as he makes rookie mistakes, you cant deny that when he is in the zone, he shows serious pace, like in 2017 he managed to get 3rd in Baku, pretty much only missing out on 2nd just to the line, and the pole in Turkey and the many other podiums he had/good races in general. of course he may not be a lando norris, George russell or Charles Leclerc, but he has proven compared to other drivers that previously raced that he does actually deserve a seat in F1
It's all coming true. This year is perfect to see what he's made of.
How's that going for you?
Title Sensationalism at its best Aldas..... Lance Stroll is also part owner of the Team is he not, owns part of the consortium that owns Aston Martin. He has a good pedigree in the lower formula's, has earned his super licence and still drives with some skill. Sure he has not performed well in the Team, limited points, few podiums and few massive mistakes. Sadly the only thing people highlight are his massive mistakes. He is as good as Esteban Ocon, they both have similar F1 careers especially the massive mistakes. Lance Stroll may have issues with the car, maybe he has "training wheels" thanks Dad. Aston Martin did not deliver this year. (2022) If the Team improves the car thanks to Alonso's skills Lance should be a good number two, making the best of the improvements Fernando can make to the car... LS can match anyone on the grid given the conditions that can unsettle others. He can challenge his team mate, the Alonso and Vettel mistakes were BAD, but Ocon had the same issues with his Team mates. Its part of the Go-kart mentality that F1 Drivers have.
I have never liked the lets see if another driver can do better philosophy in F1, and who are you going to replace LS with. I believe he has invested his own money and his Dad's in the Aston Martin team and he has the skills to be in Formula One. He should show his skills and improve performance this year. I am also certain that there have been behind the scenes critiques of his performance to date.
He can beat anyone? The why he failed to beat any of his teammates?
Pérez (good driver, but nothing more) and a demotivated Vettel comfortably beat him, even an old Massa!
The only reason he's there is because of nepotism!
Do you have a lifetime contract with your father?
Yes... you do...
Unless a DNA test says something unexpected... you are grounded to that...
PS - I will not even watch the video.... the title says all...
but the video isn't about a lifetime contract with his father...
unless a DNA test proves that his father is a formula 1 team...
For Lance, and for Aston Martin, this year is really everything. If they really want to be challenging for the title within the next few years, now is the year to push on. More top 10 finishes, frequent Q3 appearances and breaking the top 3 teams' stranglehold on the podium need to be top of the Aston Martin targets. I can see Fernando Alonso doing that, but Lance I'm not so sure about.
I predict that Alonso will put a Lando sized beat down on Lance in terms of point scores and qualification record. It will be even more obvious than it already was, that Lance is not a driver to take the AM car to the next level. Will Stroll Sr find a way to gracefully move Lance to WEC or something, and bring in a better driver to pair with Alonso for 2024 and beyond? Maybe they could get Albon from Williams at that point. Really, Lance himself doesn't look super enthused about being in F1 right now. By all reports, a nice young man. He could decide to leave himself if Alonso boat races him this season.
Respectfully disagree with your opinion I think Lance gets a lot of stick for being a paid driver if someone like Mick or even yuki achieved the same results it would be a different conversation as to how they have so much untapped potential
Tsunoda and Schumacher never had the best car on the grid after the Redbull...it's clear Lance sucks.
Of course he has one: because his father owns the team. And, rightly so. He is blessed with that privilege. And, everyone's just jealous.
Saying he dines't belong in a competitive team isn't being jealous, it's just saying the truth!
You are also encouraging nepotism, which is weird frankly!
Ironically if Aston Martin becomes competitive his time is more likely to be done, in a team in the back half of the mid field he will never look much different to his team mate, if the car becomes front line and someone like Alonso is next to him he will look bad. Perez showed that in the pink merc.
It’s ok to say Lawrence has brought in world champions for Lance to learn from, but, they are world champions on the downswing of their career. Seb and Fernando are undeniable amazing drivers but age is a factor that cannot be ignored and that I feel makes Lance look closer to their level than he actually is. Lance is a solid choice for a mid to back of the pack number 2 driver and maybe to help young up and comers settle in F1. He has no place in a team that pushes for consistent wins and wants titles though. Nepotism killing the Aston Martin dream? Slowly but surely.
Love these type of videos. Great job.
Well duh his dad own the team
I'd be surprised if Lance reeaaallly has a "contract" at all.
Unfortunately Lance. doesn't have the same talent as Alsono
Inconsistent is the word. I used to think quite highly of Stroll, his performance in Baku in his first season was seriously impressive. Then, in 2020, he thoroughly outclassed Pérez through the first half of the season but then... nothing. His performance that season sunk so badly that he went from 4th in the championship to 11th and his drives in '21 and '22 were just poor. He has frustrating glimmers of talent but he just doesn't seem to be able to develop his driving to turn those glimmers into consistent performances.
What a terrible waste of money they need a decent second driver
STROLL IS NO USE HE IS ONLY THERE BECAUSE OF HIS FATHER GET ANOTHER DRIVER
3:33 - I don't think you can have your cake and eat it too. You praised him with doing well with shitty equipment and in the wet, and then turn around and say he's mediocre. I think he's actually pretty good, but he has lapses of judgement. There were times he outpaced Vettel by a bit this past season. Look at his Singapore performance. And then that move at the Suzuka start. Why is he the only driver who thought of doing that? Seriously, just look at that at face value. That's Senna type brains there. I know, I know
I think his Father and the team have hope that those rough edges will get smoothed out since he's still young. I get the frustration. But, even Lando gave him props for his qualifying performance in USA - yes, then we have the race... But I don't think he's mediocre in pace. I think he needs to clean up his racecraft. I think that is where he's lacking. And...even sometimes his racecraft is brilliant. Look at some of his passes in recent years - like the one he made on Alonso at the A1 circuit. I mean that's right up there with the best overtaking I think.
Can we forget his performance in France of 2021? P19 to P10 almost solely on performance and pace? (few or no DNFs I believe). You can't really say he's mediocre with performances like that. I'd say he's actually mostly good, with some ups and downs.
When you have a guaranteed spot, what motivation is there to improve?
Yep, the real answer here... There's no incentive for him to push and train.
Lance is a really good mid-fielder and would be great as a second driver. He only has a bad wrap because his daddy's money
I believe he has the seat until the car is championship level and he fails to perform to the car. At that point its up to his dad or management. But I think he deserves his seat for at least 2 more seasons cause then it's the year 5
Lance has a ride for one reason…..DAD
I can't help but wonder, if Lance didn't have his dad's support would he stay in F1 based on merit? Would he get to F1 at all?
This dude is keeping aston down.
