These are Lance Stroll's worst mistakes, from bumping into his own teammates to getting stuck in the sand during a formation lap. Watch as the fails get wors...
Stroll is a pretty decent racer with ups and downs, and he does seem to at least get a lot of speed out of a car. Not the same as people like Latifi and Mazepin who were just consistently 1 sec slower per lap than their teammates. But he does pull the dumbest shit from time to time. It’s like he is using all of his focus just to drive the car and doesn’t see anything going on around them.
Compare this to the better drivers who not only drive the car fast, look at their surroundings, but also monitor the race and think about strategy. Lance has the speed to be in F1, but not the race craft. Only reason he got there and isn’t fired yet is because of his dad.
It’s the consistency more than anything. That’s the mystery of the Stroll, even with race craft. Sometimes he pulls out great overtakes, sometimes he forgets he has mirrors - and indeed that there are other drivers on the track along with him.
Isn’t Lance Stroll the son of the team owner? Or am I thinking about somebody else?
Yes he is the son of the team owner.
