Rock 'n Stroll . . . The Stroller Thread.

No, let's all chill out.

 

Perpetuating stereotypes is never a good idea.

 

Point taken. I've always complimented the British sense of humor. Thanks for pointing out that that is inappropriate.

 

Brits are great in poking fun on others, they call it British humour...It looks like they do understand less fun on the receiving end

 

Damn, I had plenty for the French and Italians.

 

OK, go ahead.

 

Really ?

 

Lol wow, never would have thought this was such a sensitive group.

 

I know. You're nobody if you don't have an ox to be gored.....

 

WOW...Just reading through this thread.....PLEASE go elsewhere.

 

more than a second of his teammate...

Not a decent showing by any means.

 

Yah I agree. Looking really poor to be that far off. Really anything over 4 tenths or so from teammate is not good.

 

You are one of the only ones on the internet! : )

 

Exactly. Look at Giovinazzi. 18 laps in the car/track and he was matching/beating his vastly experienced teammate.

Ehhhh - I just want to see the best drivers in F1 honestly. If he can't hack it, he shouldn't be there. That's the harsh reality.

 

The true sense of humour is knowing to laugh at oneself, not at others.

The Brits are best at self-depreciating humour.

Most other people laugh at other nations.

 

Not true, in my experience; the Brits laugh at themselves in general.

 

So why are you guys pissed then??? It was a harmless fun....

 

+1. I'm not at all surprised you have experienced Brits laughing at you.

+1. Being called a racist for that is absurd.

 

Yep. I'm fine with pay drivers, provided they're quick enough. Maldonado was a pay driver, but he was definitely quick, just crash prone. Grosjean was the same (though not a paydriver) but after that ban for being an idiot he adjusted his driving and had far less unnecessary crashes. Now he just moans and provides idiotic feedback BUT brings in spectacular results.

Stroll atm is just very slow, and certainly has nothing to do with not having enough time in the car. Do I feel sorry for him? Not really...he wasn't ready for F1, and they very obviously and for no apparent reason, rushed it. They easily had the money, should've done a few quiet tests instead of bleating about being signed prior to testing. I know that from the early tests he just wasn't much good and improving as he should, and they've done a lot of testing. Couldn't call it off anymore, either, too much noise has been made and calling off his drive would send the question marks throughout the racing world and outside of it.

In the end, he'll be completely ****ing loaded whatever happens, and when they decide F1 doesn't work he can race in any series he wants to...which would actually be better (considering his skill level) as there are fewer eyes on him!

 

Likewise - I don't understand why they rushed it. GP3, or F2 would have been a great option; or even two seasons. The only potential risk is him not doing well; in which case he shouldn't be in F1 anyway so....

Whatever though, I hope he turns it around so we have more good battles on track.
