Good to see they only hurt themselves more than help????? Oh well they do what they want lol. My post count is up lol
Any normal father would try to favour his son in similar circumstance. That's human nature. There is no doubt about it. What could Lawrence Stroll could say to the mother if he had dropped Lance from the team: "Darling, I have just sacked sonny !" I'm sure that would go down well.
You can also measure the potential consequences if young Stroll had been told he wouldn't be racing next year. That would come as a huge treachery after years of backing him up, don't you think? The fact is that Lance is not as bad as his detractors are saying, and he is still improving, so even from a business aspect, it makes sense to keep him.
I'm just comparing Stroll to Ocon and Perez whom are better drivers than Stroll. Heck, you can throw Massa into the equation. I realize he's dad's son, but dad brought him into F1 early by jumping his son from F2. Had dad kept his son in F3 then F2 then F1, then his son would probably had better race-craft.
Family makes this decision all the time. World turns. Lance is released and what would be the impact at all. Zero. If Stroll was actually serious Lance would not be on the grid. But he has play money and money from others. What is his real exposure to loss in F1? He has done well to minimize it one can be sure. Lance has 'improved' after 4 years he should be. In the real sense he is outclassed by more junior drivers with more talent. I do not need to list them do I?
I can accept that rushing Lance to F1 was maybe not wise. I don't approve of teenage racing drivers anyway.
Stroll is currently 4th in WDC behind Lewis Bottas and Max ...could you expect anything better ? just saying
He's tied with Norris for 4th position in the WDC. Monza finish(P3) was like Baku 2017...plus Stroll really lucked into not pitting...free pit stop due to K-Mag stopping at pit entry. Perez pitted earlier. Stroll had 1 DNF vs Perez 2 DNF 's(Covid-19). Stroll will lose his P4 position in the WDC as the season goes.
Stroll and Norris have 57pts each....Yes, Stroll is 4th and Norris 5th. Yes, let's wait till the end of the season.
Money talk. Stroll is the owner, Perez does not got enough $$$. Did you remember my little sting regarding the trip to Mexico? Everybody believe he visit his mother. Yes but he was looking for new sponsors.
I wonder what is the problem at Haas--budget, team management, drivers or a bit of each? Something ain't working.
