    Ahhh, Carlos Slim! I had no idea who bankrolled Perez until you gave that hint.

    The electronic screen somewhere showed checkered flag a lap too early, so to avoid complaints from drivers that might have stopped racing too early, they have to go with the electronic "mistake" and stop everyone a lap early, so that was before Perez crashed.

    Carlos Slim spends about $25m a year sponsoring Perez and Gutierez, and some other drivers as well.
    At one point, it was rumoured that he was interested in having his own F1 team.

    He is a good mid-field driver for a second-tier team. I like him.

    Lance finishes ninth in Japan! It took him ten days, but he persevered! In other news, both Renaults were disqualified, but that's just a coincidence.

    Funny. And true.

    As for Renault, an odd outcome. Seems like the FIA was afraid of beating them up too much and then Renault packing its bags. Then again who cares.

    Lance Stroll believes he has to focus on his own weaknesses to match his Racing Point Formula 1 team-mate Sergio Perez more consistently in 2020.

    Stroll only out-qualified Perez on two occasions in 2019 - with one of those intra-team wins coming at the United States Grand Prix in which Perez did not set a representative time due to a grid penalty.

    Perez also finished at the head of 'Class B' in the Azerbaijan, Belgian, Mexican and Abu Dhabi grands prix, while Stroll recorded Racing Point's best finish of 2019 by taking fourth at the wild German Grand Prix.

    Stroll scored points just twice after F1's summer break, compared to Perez scoring points in every race apart from the Singapore Grand Prix in which he retired after an oil leak.

    Asked if it was beneficial to have a benchmark like Perez as a team-mate, Stroll said: "Yeah, for sure.

    "Definitely in the second half of the season, he really got a lot of momentum going, and I think it's just his knowledge - he has been with the same team for five, six years and has knowledge of setting up the car and managing the tyres.

    "A combination of all those things.

    "It's great to have him across the garage for me, just picking up on details here and there.

    "But at the end of the day, at this level, you have got to kind of be your own artist on the track."

    He added: "I think it's about understanding how to improve some of my weaknesses, I can only speak for myself, but how to build on some of my weaknesses and then hold on to some of my strengths.

    "So if you're always chasing the guy that's next to me in the garage, you are never really going to be able to beat him right?

    "So you have to kind of be creative in your own way. And I think it's just about balancing that out.

    "There's definitely been things that I picked up from him, especially towards the beginning of the year when everything was new to me.

  18. How does a grid penalty affect your time? If anything, you'd be trying even harder knowing the penalty was coming. Something in the rules I'm not getting? :confused:

    Racing Point backs Stroll to match Perez’s points tally

    https://www.motorsportweek.com/2020/02/25/racing-point-backs-stroll-to-match-perezs-points-tally/

    Lance Stroll has the speed and capability to match Racing Point team-mate Sergio Perez’s points tally in 2020, according to boss Otmar Szafnauer.

    Stroll joined the Racing Point outfit, owned by father Lawrence, for 2019 after spending the first two years of his Formula 1 career with Williams.

    Perez scored 52 points to earn a top 10 slot in the standings last year while Stroll amassed 21, as Racing Point classified seventh in the championship.

    “It is his second year with us, he is on the steep end of the learning curve,” said Szafnauer on Stroll.

    “He has got the speed, it is just understanding the people around him, [as a] team we have made some adjustments as well to help him, so I’m very confident that he will score as many points as Sergio, and that is exactly what we need to finish fourth.

    “The years we did not finish fourth it was because we were not consistently in the points with both cars, and when we were not in the points with both cars it was because something happened to one of them.

    “But the opportunity for both of them to score points was always there, and that is exactly what we are targeting. And I think it’ll happen.”

    On the progress Stroll feels Racing Point has made with its RP20, the Canadian said: “It’s all relative to the competition. I haven’t driven the other cars, so I don’t know…no one knows what others are doing.

    “But forgetting about everyone else, and thinking about ourselves, we’ve definitely made some big steps and I think we’re in a much better place right now than we were this time last year, which is a good thing.”

    LMAO. Is that the script for a comedy sketch?

    I don’t care who wins the titles this year. I just hope Perez and Ocan wipe the floor with that brat. And if Russell gets one or two on him I will be over the moon!
