A bad weekend for Lance
« on: August 30, 2025, 11:12:23 PM »
I wonder if his Dad still has any say keeping Lance in the seat next year?

I wonder if Lance might be about ready to move on, too. Really doesn't seem to be enjoying it any more.

And yet managed to use a chaotic race to pull a 7th place from a 19th place start.

Stroll is very frustrating, he's clearly got the talent to be a top F1 racer.  It really feels like the attitude is missing.  Does he need more focus?  More practise?  More media training?  More accountability?

Maybe with a super rich dad he always used to getting his way. He can
be bought a ride but not a championship

Stroll is outscoring Alonso, so if Honda is in a position to ask Aston Martin to take a driver (probably Tsunoda) in exchange for a discount in engine price, it would be difficult to argue that Stroll should be the one to move. This would apply even if Lawrence Stroll outright said he would prefer Lance to take a different position at the team.

Since I believe Alonso has a secure contract, that means nobody's moving at Team Silverstone voluntarily for a while.

None of this is going to make Lance any more likely to endear himself to interviews and interviewers, and given that he's on stronger form than in the past, it's likely that if anything he'll be asked to do that more often if he thinks the FIA will let him get away with it.
