Agree. Since Day One, he has been a punk and his conduct today is the last straw. Beam him up Scotty. He's done (and he deserves to be canned. He sucks.)
His dad is learning that you can't buy fake results in F1. Stroll has been exposed for 7 years. First few years he had the excuse to the rest of the world that he was new-ish to F1. Then mid-tier teams Then a mid tier team with a 4x wdc whose Ferrari's failures suddenly weren't talked about anymore Then a car that was 2nd fastest for a good while and no worthy result noted. His dad is getting the money back. I've said it for a few years now, just buy stroll a ride in WEC.
Welcome to the real world Lance lol. Im certain overall his quality of life will continue to be more than comfortable having endured such as you have posted lol.
Dont be too tough on him guys, the penny has finally dropped and it must be hard on him & realize he isn't any good.
He's led a sheltered life of the "rich and famous" getting what he wants.....albeit from his parents. Unfortunately, he's been getting a dose of reality for these 7 years in F1 and it has finally come to a breaking point with himself and his parents. This sport isn't a hobby to fulfill between father and son where money gets you in and money buys you a team so your son can enjoy this hobby. You either perform progressively or you're out. The only good side from all this is Lawrence Stroll saving the team of 400 employees, making it grow to 800 or so employees, building a state-of-the-art HQ for AMRF1, and promoting the brand.
Wow....Lance literally tossed out that steering wheel out of the car and scratching the paint on the car. Then he was supposed to go to the weigh bridge as his trainer was telling him go the opposite way so he somewhat sides his trainer then as he walks to the back of the garage he shoves his trainer even harder. Very childish.
I love how Nico Rosberg flat out said "if he was anybody else he wouldn't have a drive for next year". and the Naomi Schiff follows up and says that Lawrence Stroll isn't doing anything about Lance's outburst.
Why would the father intervene when in fact its his team and more so Lance's by default lol. We literally see idiocy out of the mouths of leaders and the other drivers praising Lance. Its apparent that is just ridiculous in the face of accidents, mistakes and a lack of results. Stroll Sr would never do anything against Lance overtly in front of his employee's.
30 seconds behind his teammate who had an overheating seat in a race where drivers half his age that didn't have that issue faint from heat exhaustion.
Oh, and Gasly is 1 point behind Stroll in the WDC standing. Piastri is almost double the points of Stroll and he's a freakin rookie after Qatar 2023.
It’s great to see Lance realising what all of us already know. He’s rubbish. Will always be rubbish, and no amount of privilege and money will bring him success in F1. He’s got to go. He’s costing Aston too much, and regardless of whether his father owns the team or not, it’s a business and the money has to come from somewhere via points, sponsors and WCC positions. Right now, Aston is a one driver team. That’s a mega handicap to work with when all the close competitor teams have 2 drivers.
Where is Buxton now to lick his ass trying to present him as a half decent driver? i guess papa Stroll closed his wallet on that muppet!
Horner saying the same thing about RedBull they do not have 2 drivers taking the load on for competition.
The sheer number of races per season and the pressure to perform have overwhelmed some of the drivers. Perez, Sargeant and Lance(though coddled as he is) seem broken.
Exactly the opposite !!! It's the ideal situation for Alonso !! No team mate to question his settings, or challenge him on the track. No risk they will fight wheel to wheel like Leclerc-Sainz do, or Hamilton-Russell, even Norris-Piastri. When you have drivers of equal ability in a team, they only think about themselves. It must be bliss for Alonso !!
To become WDC, you need a highly "individual idealistic approach" to racing. You don't become Champ by sharing and being nice to your team mate, who could be your nearest opponent. So it's just as well if he is no threat and far behind.
