Thank you for watching, hopefully you enjoyed it and if you did then don’t forget to comment drop a like and subscribe to the channel for more. Il see you in the next one, Aldas. - Sport
Lance is definitely not undroppable! He drops it over the curb and on the grass and on the gravel and on the sausages and into Mr. Barry R and on a bike and in the pits when he shoves his engineers etc etc…
You forgot dropping the steering wheel when it's not attached to the car anymore!
Aldas: posts video about Aston Martin
Lance Stroll: "Ah shit! Here we go again"
One thing they should never change is their livery, cuz it's a straight banger
Felipe Drugovich needs a drive man.
Give nando a competitive car today, he'll win the championship tomorrow. Guy is a maniac.
Total beast. I’d be terrified to be his teammate.
Thats stretching it too far
What really annoys me about Stroll is that he actually has potential. We’ve seen several times over the years that on good weekends he can do a very good job. He just seems to lack that consistency. Honestly I think it’s because he has no motivation to try his absolute hardest since he doesn’t have the pressure of losing his seat or trying to get a better one. He’s just where he is and has nothing to fight for.
100%. He’s famously lazy, which makes his position in the team that much more of a crime. I think Lawrence should do some shell company games and pretend he sold the team so Lance believes keeping the seat will solely be in his hands. He’d probably try much harder and drive much better. That or completely collapse under the pressure.
@@The_ZeroLine Honestly doesn't need to even go through all of that. Lawrence just needs to tell Lance that his seat is on his hands, and that he will no longer have a decision in whether he keeps his seat or not. The shareholders have started to complain to Lawrence about Lance's performance, and that could and SHOULD be the perfect excuse to either get rid of Lance or force him to actually try. If Lance got back to the form he had in the first half of 2020, he would easily keep his seat imo.
It can be a huge benefit for a driver who simply enjoys driving, and finding the best racecraft he can. But Lance isn't that driver, unfortuneately.
It's a great shame that Alsono doesn't have a decent driver at Aston Martin Lance hasn't as proved himself look at all other drivers just waiting for a seat and Lance has very rich father but the son unfortunately hasn't
@@The_ZeroLine spot on unfortunately there are decent drivers just waiting for chance
Lance Stroll is there until he decides to quit or there's some sort of internal coup at Aston Martin to force him out. Krak has to work around that fact, and criticizing Stoll won't change a thing. Fernando has all the cards; Aston needs him, but he'd be the best option for Mercedes if they want a driver who could win immediately
Aston Martin have share holders maybe they should vote as to what is good for the team not what is in his father wallet So many talent drivers just waiting for a drive
I can't wait for Lance Stroll to have one or two good races at the start and then people will get all excited that maybe this is the time he finally turns it all around only for him to be eliminated in Q1 for the rest of the season.
That is a long way off he appears not to have the drive in his self If I was on the board for Aston Martin I would vote him off
I unfortunately I think you have a long wait with Lance
Fernando has a certain comedic timing with how he will rip up a contract with a quickness.
Aston's aim for this season needs to be consistency, consistently in the fight for podiums instead of the massive drop off we saw
The ambitions of the team outstrip Stroll’s talent. They can’t scale down the team now so the only solution is Stroll goes.
If they lose Alonso they’re cooked. Albon/Sainz/Tsnuoda paired with Stroll isn’t a good enough lineup
Anyone paired with Stroll isn't good enough.
This is beyond obvious, but you can't have a competitive F1 team when you only have one decent driver.
Even if that driver is Nando.
nah a sainz pairing could theoretically be about the same, but I would LOVE an alonso-sainz 2025 lineup
lol. Tsunoda isn't even at Stroll's level in anything but overconfidence 😂
Stroll is holding Aston Martin back he needs to go
@aberamagold7509
Unless that team is red bull
The reason they lacked development last year was due to two development branches being talked about, one from the factory itself and one from the engineers at the races, basically the data from the race engineers was different to the data from the engineers at the factory.
EAT shiit end ...
What evidence you basing this off?
The only reasonable way they could convince Stroll leaving Aston is giving him the WEC Aston Martin seat next year, but it would still be a downgrade from Lance's perspective. Until Lawrence provides the big bucks, he has a say whether he leaves or not
Like him or not he isn’t dumb neither proud of his last season I could even imagine him retiring by his choice next season if the performance deficit persists. Also AM shareholders also have a saying now, they may even be able to force him to leave if because of him they end a constructors below expectation because of him.
I mean, it doesn't seem like Stroll is all that invested in racing either?
@@Appletank8 Why was he racing at the start of 2023 with broken wrists then? Like, Stroll never was an articulate type that's for sure, but other than "being invested in racing" - he has no apparent reason to stay. Lawrence, and by extension Lance, has all the money of the world to do whatever he or his family wants, yet Lance still stays in F1.
@shidzenrekun
Lance still thinks, allbeit delusionally, he's a quality F1 driver who, with a bit of luck, can win a championship.
The only way Lawrence will learn is when Lance costs Aston Martin a win or a championship. That's when he'll learn that this isn't the answer, that or he doesn't really care about championships like he said and is more focused on making sure his son has a drive.
I think Aston is in a weird spot. Fernando Alonso Wants a title, and with how big of a leap Aston made, they should challenge them. But I think Alonso knows that if anyone wants to challenge Max, they have to wait until 2026. At that point, the gird will be super different. And with an open seat at both Red Bull and Mercedes, why would he stick with Aston after they basically sabotaged his latter mid of the season? Stroll has flashes in the pan, but he's the most inconsistent driver on the grid. With Racing Bulls getting a big upgrade and them going for the stars, I think Aston knows that they have to have another solid driver. And Stroll isn't that. With the big shake-up, we'll see heading into 2025 what they will do. There's so many good drivers. Albon, Tsunoda, Riccardo, Hulkenburg, and Sainz, all of them would fit well with Alonso. And if Alonso leaves, They can hire another driver to be their #2
Aston this season needs to be consistently in the fight for podiums, maybe picking up a win when the others mess up
@stu8758 More so, they need to have Stroll pick up points consistently.
"Sabotaged" is strong language, when they gave him a decent enough car to get multiple podiums to begin with.
@F1ll1nTh3Blanks I know, but they basically costed him 3rd or even 2nd in the championship due to the fact that they were downgrading their car. And with the way other teams are improving, I doubt they'll be able to get the same number of podiums again, even if they do improve over the season.
Alonso is a really good driver. 2 championship doesn't justify his talent, i really hope that Aston Martin has created a good car this year, I want to see Alonso fight for the championship 🏆💚
To be honest Alsono needs a decent second driver to gain more points
@@barryalangroves8759 yes i agree but that's not going to happen because of his daddy 😔
@@amarjeetsinha8733 What a great shame as there are many decent drivers just waiting for drive
@@barryalangroves8759 Exactly, in today's qualifying session in Japanese grand prix, Alonso is P5 and stroll is P16 . That's a huge Difference. Alonso is still one of the best at this age, Alonso needs a better teammate. Stroll can't even qualify for Q2, what a disappointment. People always say that we should remove older drivers for the younger ones but instead we should remove bad drivers for the good ones.
It's been said before and I'll say it again. The best solution for Lance would be to move him to Aston Martin's hypercar project for 2025. We've seen that drivers who were a bit underwhelming in F1 can have great success there (i.e. Hartley, Giovinazzi). It would also be a great opportunity with WEC's current growth and shouldn't just be considered the place where failed F1 drivers go
Bring in Sainz! Alonso and Sainz pairing would be lit.
Lawrence Stroll basically said it all on DTS Netflix that the dream/ goal is to become a championship team with his son becoming champion. His pockets are very deep so personally I don't think Lance will be replaced unless it's at his own choice.

@@AudicyVEVO And my axe!
I had to hear me say that 3,607,596 times when I was editing this video
@@Aldas001 Haha, although I get the feeling you were enjoying saying it 😂
I wish my dàd had the money and the support as Lance Stroll. Maybe I could have won more races and championships.
Aldas is my favourite F1 CZcamsr, all of his videos are so well thought through and you can see how much effort goes into them. He doesn’t push out lots of subpar content like some people out there and despite being a Alonso fan you can tell he loves the sport first and foremost as he gives balanced respect to all of the drivers that deserve it, Lewis, Seb, Max etc. He give them there credit.
I think Stroll is a good driver, but with the big default of being very inconsistant. It seems very hard for him to get is head in a good place mentally for a long period of time. I also think that his injury just before the season start last year killed his season. AM was at their peak in spring, and Lance drop such much good points there. It was way much harder to score good points after that period, where Lance driving was better. F1 season are very demanding. A random series of events can definitively leads to a train wreck that last a good while. Let's see what he is able to do in 2024. (edit:typo)
The best video I have seen so far this preseason. Thanks for the no BS explanations 👍
Imagine having no job insecurity and you love the j9b as well ..damn i hope my life wss as fun as stroll😂
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Larry, enough is enough
If Stroll keep the beard for 2024 he is going to do just fine.
Love your build up of your story/analasys
Alonso performed as a world champion leader in green. Actually i hope he gives Stroll sr a win, and maybe a wc win. And yes, stroll sr needs to think of team and points... 2025 is really defining. And could swap seats in aston.. just to get more points, because alonso alone storing points is not enough to two storing teams of Ferrari, merc and maclaren. Not even thinking of Alpine and possibly torro rosso or Williams getting in the mix..
I think that a Sainz + Alonso lineup would be perfect.
Yes Mike Crack should not ignore the Lance problem. But I suspect Mike wants to keep his job too
My Crack is in a difficult spot.
Corrected headline.. "Stroll sucks, enough already" Mike Krack is on crack when it comes to Stroll
Still find it funny that people talk about livery so much. It's what the car does on the circuit that's really important. Not the paint. Or lack of it.
Anyone miss that one video of the Aston Martin being rolled out of the truck everyone used to use?
I don't know if the statistics back this up, but I think Aston probably has the biggest average pace gulf between two teammates. Perhaps Williams between ALB/SAR and maybe Red Bull but that would be because VER was so far ahead last year on average.
I could see Lance Stroll being shipped off to Aston's new WEC hypercar division in 2025 (if established by then) and Yuki Tsunoda probably partnering Alonso or someone like Antonelli if Alonso heads to Merc.
Look, Laurence Stroll bought Aston Martin F1 because it was the only way to get Lance an F1 seat. That hasn’t changed. The unusual thing is that They had enough money to buy two world champions to mentor Lance, in the hope he would learn how to win races..
The strolls need to watch this video at dinner time. Spectacular victory or embarrassing humiliation awaits them.
How Aston Martin still hasn't given stroll's seat to Drugovich is beyond me
Daddy's cash
Drugovich deserves a chance, but F1 is unfair af
@@Leoleao1 true, even redbull's treatment on checo is unfair ( that includes their fans )
@@shadzgohan2.0 Latin America fans aren't as rich as other places fanbases, so they doesn't care about them
Also, F1 is mainly and European (and British) sport. So this mentality also contributes to this bad treatment
@@Leoleao1if that were true then why do people care about drivers such as Villeneuve and Senna? Canada and Brazil aren't as rich as other fanbases, and yet people care about both Villeneuves and Ayrton.
Also f1 can no longer be considered a european sport if they keep adding more tracks from the US and the Middle East.
And speaking about Sport, f1 is no longer considered a sport, it's entertainment like a circus, you want to know a real sport? Football ( the one where you kick with your feet and play against other countries ) and Endurance Racing, ( WEC had no toxicity nor Redbull fans causing chaos )
Ok we get it mate, you don´t like the man too much, it´s like the 10th video you make on him not deserving a seat. It starts to get weird at some point...
Everybody knows he isn´t f1 world champion material, but he for sure ain´t the worst on the grid.
If any other driver had broken both wrists, guys like aldas would make a ton of excuses for them.
Last year he was bad for a considerable amount of time, despite his injury contributing somewhat to that.
The same with Perez
Well said.
Exactly, we all know perez ain´t that bad. He had a bad year, that´s it, just like stroll but at least stroll had both his wrists broken and had an excuse to underperform, perez didn´t...@@YoungMaster_626
It's not just Aldas to be fair but yeah its a dead topic. Every video or podcast about Stroll. "Did you know? Stroll = bad, the team should drop him" etc as if Papa Stroll will watch it and say "omg, wow, I never noticed, Lance you're fired". Like you say, he's never been the worst on the grid and at least for a few seasons wasn't even bottom 12 in my opinion. Would it be nice to see his seat with a better driver ? sure but it ain't happening any time soon
Yea, that AM green is beautiful. I would never change it, the BWT pink drove me nuts. Perez is my #1 driver since before he was in F1. Having to sport Pink Perez hats and shirts sucked, lol. On the team side, I would love to see Perez take Stroll's seat. A merc suits Sergio much better than a high rake super pointy RB.
Daddy warbucks is going to have to make a decision soon as to how important winning is to this team. Lance is holding them back and the worst part is the horrible team morale keeping him on broods. You could see how demoralized the team was last season each time Lance would go out in Q1, especially Singapore.
Fernando Alonso wants a good contract for 25! If I don't win the title at least I make big money!
Who can Lawrence hire for 25? Sainz maybe? Lecrerc, Norris, Hamilton, Verstappen are out of the question
Hulkenberg, he would be happy to leave HAAS and he is still very fast.
@@OnlineHipHopTV do you think he sells more merchandise than Sainz?
Laurence isn't just investing his own money, he has partners. I can't believe they'll let Lance carry on being underwhelming forever. At the end of the day they want to see podiums and victories and make money.
With my crack at the launch
Why 2 comments?
@@geo.m1639right? Where’s the third one
I really don’t think Lance is that bad. At the end of last year he was a very good 2nd driver. He was genuinely faster than Fernando in Vegas
Yeah I don't think Lance is that bad of a driver for the 5 races he shows up in a 22 race season
Problem is, by the time he was performing well, it was clear McLaren would overtake them in the standings
That's the thing, he's not that bad. Certainly better than Latifi or Mazepin.
But in a close championship, you need two drivers at their best. There's a reason Merc won the constructor title (and prize money) in 21 and Red Bull didn't. Stroll has already cost AM millions in prize money. He's not bad, but he's just not good enough.
Aston martin : the unstoppable and the undroppable
I love how subtle this guy is with his insults
Strictly speaking, Aston Martin are only where they are because Lance wants to do F1 and dad spent a fortune to let him do it.
He's effectively the greatest pay driver ever, in terms of the money he brings to a team.
There also surely have shareholders just think if Aston Martin had a decent second driver they would have done a lot better
Once the WEC operation kicks in lance will be going there... and AM will then have a choice invest in drugavich or make a bid for a current solid 2nd driver to alonso say an albon/sainz/checo/bottas etc I don't see alonso going anywhere as the devolopment is there for AM
I still chuckle when I hear Mike Krack
It's going to be a tough 2024 year for Stroll because after the results of pre-season testing showing how close are the leading teams (except for Red Bull) one little mistake leaves you out of Q3.
Lance is not a one FI driver Alsono show him how to drive Aston Martin car Lance has got a drive not through talent but by his farther involvement in Aston Martin
I think Stroll is just maximising his driving of the car this year, without crazily trying to outdo Alonso.
I think lance is going to the Valkyrie project lmp1 next year and Alonso going to stay at Aston martin and adding yuki as Japanese drive for the Honda engine
Yuki ain’t an upgrade. Liam Lawson came in with no practice and was immediately right behind him. Stroll had world champions as teammates, it’s not even a comparison
@@Yetabronz many people are overrating Yuki just because they find him funny.
I read the thumbnail as "unstoppable", got confused there for a sec 😂😭
With Alsono at Aston Martin i would back him but to be honest he needs another driver to gain more points
Surely it about time that the shareholders of Aston Martin have voice concerning the drivers of Aston Martin without the talent of Alsono who has driven awesome shame about his team mate
The F1 team and famous brand need a car design make-over that only the greats of race car design can give to a machine capable of competing with Mercedes, RedBull, Ferrari, McLaren etc. As for drivers, they have (one of the only 3 world champions on The Grid), Fernando Alonso, if they can keep him.
Alsono is an awesome driver never gives up
The Austin test was confirm to correlation with new development tools. Not to figure out what they were doing wrong. 2026 is the first time we’ll see an AM design developed from the start with the benefit of all their new tools + wind tunnel.
Lance is dropped the moment Lawrence adopts Fernando as his new son.
Daddy owns the team.......end of any questions about Stroll staying at Aston Martin.
Aston Martin and McLaren are such an incognita. AM struck gold last year, then fell behind, then picked back up. Really curious to see if they can replicate that. As to McLaren, while I'm hopeful, how many times have we seen them finish on a high only to then come back the next season with a backmarker car and have to re-build all over again? I hope they were able to build on what they had last year.
Alonso would be an upgrade for Mercedes. Lewis needs the fastest car to have a chance to win the WDC. Fernando has shown he can fight for the championship in the 3rd (2010) or 4th (2012) fastest car. For those of us who have been long time Formula 1 followers, Alonso’s 2012 season is the greatest season peformance I’ve ever seen in F1.
Must be wild to be racing in F1 with ZERO pressure but this is what Lance Stroll has.
Daddy owns the team! He has yet to cut his son an doubt seriously if he ever will. Not the actions of a business man! Could Momma have something to do with this!
Stroll has a seat that's safer than Max
Beautiful car. But as long as daddy Stroll doesn't take fighting for a championship seriously I will never EVER take Aston seriously.
This vid is 6 weeks old, but if making it now no doubt you'd say that Stroll is looking far better this season (a good no. 2 to Alonso so far this season).
If there's one driver that showed time and again that he can outperform his car, it's Fernando.
Yes.
For me there are 2 drivers that absolutely should not be at their current teams. Stroll and Perez.
I just wanna see drugovich in f1 💔
The only problem is this team would not even exist if it wasn't for Lance. I agree with what you're saying......But
It’s upsetting to think from (both) Stroll’s perspective(‘s) he’s probably thinking “Why quit with a major regulation change 2 years away?”… I think Lance will leave for the 2027 season 🙄
Why does everybody miss the AM WEC Hypercar project in 2025? I predict that Lance Stroll to join that effort next season, making 2024 his last in F1.
Nyck de Vries never had the chance Stroll has...
A driver of Alonso quality should have more WDC. He was far better then vettel
What is a livery??
One name you tend to forget is Bottas..
Maybe Mike Crack is on a lot of pressure
Drop Lance and give the seat to Drugovich.
Yes, if only he could go away to have a more exciting line up and better performances
I just really hope stroll does good in 2024. If he is consistent and on form, he can produce
Stroll has 1 great race every 2 seasons, the other times he drives like a dipshit. He seems to be a nice guy, but there are at least 10 drivers that deserve that seat more imho
Everything that is being said about Stroll is what most people have been saying since the beginning, even with his one off results …….
I disagree with saying George is in the level group of Perez and Sainz etc. As he’s definitely better/a level above them.
For me I’d say its:
Max
Lewis, Charles, George and Fernando.
Sainz, Norris, Albon, Perez and Piastri.
Then everyone else.
Nah, George isnt there yet, its like norris
And I would rate perez lower to be honest
Stroll goes, Aston goes. As sad as that may be.
I like Aston Martin for the livery, which is my favourite, and Alonso. Stroll is a tragedy.
I think it’d look even more ridiculous if they kept announcing contracts for Lance. It’d be like my mom calling a press conference to announce she had reached a deal to buy my new car.
Unfortunately Toto is probably too loyal to Lewis still to offer Fernando a drive for ‘25.
wish they grow some balls and fire lace and maybe hire a better driver to partner with Alonso. they can legit fight for 3rd place, maybe even a 2nd
Krack will always make excuses for Lance because he has to, it's not up to him.
Lance hasn't been dropped because hes doing exactly what Aston wants from a second driver.
I just hope whatever happens it leaves a spot for Seb to return to the sport. Be it Mercedes, Redbull or Audi.
At the end of the day Stroll does have an FIA super license. You can buy a team spot but you can't buy a super license, those are earned. Is he the best driver? Obviously not. The worst ever? Also obviously not. No, he wouldn't be at AM if he wasn't essentially part of the ownership but he may have been at HAAS or Alpha Romeo. His situation at AM has also kept him from being dropped for an emerging talent giving him a longer driving career than he would have had otherwise. I suspect if he's still midfield or lower this year and the AM is a relatively competitive car, he'll be out at the end of the season and then be a "brand ambassador" or some such, using his driver/owner status as a commercial prop. Fair play to him as he seems a nice enough guy (Canadian after all). Unlike some other drivers over the years he has actually shown the odd flash of real skill. Just not often enough to validate his continual spot in the most competitive seats in the world.
If it wasn’t for Daddy, he would have been punted after last year.
I prefer this livery over the Ferrari (I think the stripes spoil it)
If Marko leaves Red Bull triggering Verstappen to exit, then could Alonso move to Red Bull?
