Felipe is too much of a gentleman to say what he really thinks I bet, in deference to his old team mates and friends at Williams.
He finished 5th in the Daytona 24 in 2016.Will be LMP2 car in 2018.Should do ok i think....oh and please no comments that it will take him 34 hours ha
"Lance is expected to be partnered in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship opener on January 27/28 by Formula E frontrunner Felix Rosenqvist and Robin Frijns and Daniel Juncadella, respectively factory GT drivers with Audi and Mercedes. Stroll has links with all three of his Daytona teammates through management and coaching. Rosenqvist was Stroll's teammate and mentor at Prema in the European Formula 3 Championship in 2015 and continued to advise the Canadian through his title-winning season in F3 the following year."
Whatta ya know.....Sir Lancelot is requesting his next team mate be a team player. Stroll says new Williams teammate must be a "team player" https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/stroll-williams-teammate-must-team-player-981721/ … via @motorsport
Again Massa beats him by a full second....i can't remenber if it was 1,5 at the beginning of the season but i don't see any evolution frm him...
Stroll has been very scrappy and slow throughout free practice in Abu Dhabi, and his qualifying session was just more of the same. The UK's Channel 4 F1 presenter Steve Jones, mentioned after today's race that Massa qualified 5 places ahead of Stroll today, and by over a second, and then said: "......and one of those drivers is being put out to pasture........is it the right one?" Eddie Jordan responded by saying how it was the way of F1, for the young guns to come and challenge the old brigade, pushing them all the way - Completely missing Jones' point that, overall, Stroll hasn't been able to even match Massa, let alone push him, even after a whole season to get used to the car. So many people keep trying to justify Stroll's place in F1 by talking about his podium in Azerbaijan, but they seem to completely over look the fact that were at least 8 other drivers who suffered either mechanical failures or other incidents, that promoted Stroll to the podium. (And they also overlook the fact that a single good race does not mean you are F1 material - Pastor Maldonado being a great case in point!) The fact is, Stroll is just a waste of a race seat in F1! In reality, on his best day (and when other drivers don't have issues), he can just about hit the giddy heights of being mediocre! His general performances compared to Massa have shown that he is not fast, he hasn't demonstrated any car development ability, and he has not shown any indication of being any sort of untapped great talent. At the moment, it may be the case that Daddy Stroll's money is making up for the lose of revenue due to poor performances, but sooner or later, Williams need to come to their senses and ditch Lance Stroll, because he's not going to move the team forward.
4rePhill - well said^^ Williams are beyond a joke and its the doing of the management allowing the Stroll fungus to become attached and deeply.
Baby driver wants "a team mate" next year AKA someone in the sister car who can give him some clues how to go faster.
Hey, let's not get Baby Stroller mixed up with "Baby Driver"! - "Baby Driver" can handle a car! Perhaps if Baby Stroller started playing some hot music whilst he drives then he might go faster!
People who suggest that Stroll be replaced just don't get it, do they? Maybe they are just choose to be naive because . . . . . hmmmm . . . I can't come up with a legitimate reason why they do this.
No it's worse....he said ''a team player''. Team player implies that he would move out of the way if necessary. Well that'll never happen as it won't be needed! What he's asking for is a teammate so desperately slow or willing to take Stroller bucks to deliberately drive slower so that Stroller looks halfway decent...incredible!
