Lawrence has got the perfect exit for Lance now with the WEC programme coming in next year , it's just if he's got the courage to realise it's never going to work out for Lance in F1 and if Aston want to be genuine frontrunners they're going to need a stronger driver pairing. Ironically Carlos would have been perfect.
I can understand the desire to see your child do well but this is Lance's 8th season in F1 now and his cumulative points total in that period is only 15 more than Max has got so far this season. Lance is mid-table and is never going to be more than that. If you want your team to do better, you need a better driver.
A friend of mine works for Aston Martin and he says Lawrence Stroll is the biggest as*hole you could ever meet, a truly horrible guy apparently.
Doesn't surprise me , he always gives off really weird vibes when he's interviewed. That whole episode with the " Pink Mercedes" where he threw his toys out the pram just came across like some budget bond villain.
Do Williams have a similar issue to Red Bull with Perez about home races. I know Saargeant isn't a big name but must be great commercially to have a US driver for those two upcoming races by which point he might as well just stay the whole season.
Toto on the phone to Vowles already: "Want to borrow Kimi for the rest of the season?"
Honestly wouldn't surprise me. It's just the same mistakes all the time with Logan.
Unfortunately for Logan he's been pretty solid for a good while, he's actually settled down now since a few errors at the start of the season... He then had that great boost of confidence with having to give up his car in Australia and responded to it pretty well until now, he's even kept up with Albon in most races.
BUT - This is the first race (?) since Sainz was confirmed in that seat - Worst time to do it, especially with Antonelli getting the run out at Monza next Friday.
Why not get rid of Logan now, get a bit of extra money from Mercedes to putting another rookie in the car... One who should be an actual talent too
Just seen the Sargeant crash. Really poor. Has to be one of the worst driver appointments ever. I don't remember ever seeing anything from him in the junior categories that merited a place in F1.
Liberty pushed this through. They were / are so desperate for a US driver but he was never up to it.
Antonelli would work for everyone. Merc have a chance to get him up to speed ahead of joining the team next year and Williams get a capable driver that will be funded from elsewhere.
Surely the gap to Verstappen is too big anyway. Even if Lando keeps winning (which is unlikely as he's only won 2 of this years 15 races), as long as MV keeps ticking along with 2nd places that'll be enough for him won't it?

Would sell the team to Aramco/PIF I would guess.
Just really leaves Sauber/Audi now. Alonso is giving it in the press he's trying to secure that seat for Gabi Bortoleto.

F1 really does have a habit of clashing with Saturday afternoon Football these days in Europe.
was a bit trippy swinging back and forth
