    Stroll’s been in F1 long enough now that we know what we’ll get from him.

    Poor qualifier and average racer. He’ll forever be the 12th-15th fastest on the grid.

    I just don’t see any way his dad gets rid of him though.

      I guess it will depend on how good stroll is doing when aston martin is battling for the constructor championship.

      At some point there are no excuses left and I would assume the pressure form investors becomes big enough if he doesn’t deliver, to replace him.

      Edit: grammar

        when aston martin is battling for the constructor championship.

        Thing is, Aston Martin are 13 pts off of Mercedes for 2nd.

        Alonso has 117 pts… Stroll has 37…

        If Stroll even had half the points of Alonso, they would be 10 pts clear of the Mercs

        The only slight argument in defence of Stroll is that the only people ahead of him in the drivers championship are Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, and the other Aston driver…

          At the moment he certainly looks way too relaxed in interviews for someone so far behind his teammate

        Would Lawrence eventually offload him to another team as a paid driver so he could fill that seat with a better option?
