  • Does Lance Stroll genuinely earn his place in Formula 1? I'm diving into the journey of Lance Stroll, a racer whose path to the pinnacle of car racing was significantly accelerated by his billionaire father's support.
    From his early karting days to securing a spot on the F1 grid, I'll examine the investments and decisions that made his career possible. Amidst the debate over 'pay drivers,' I'm taking a closer look at what Stroll brings to the table. Through insights and analysis, I'm tackling the crucial question: Is Lance Stroll there on merit?
    Join me as I explore the talent and controversy surrounding one of the sport's most discussed figures.

The point of F1 is the best drivers duking it out, some with better machinery of course, but skill is paramount to move to better machinery. Stroll doesn't fit either category, little skill and only moves up in equipment quality thanks to daddy buying him a team to mould around and he still manages to come off second best to a significantly older driver. He needs to retire and take up the tennis dream of his, where he will likely be just as talentless but that's the problem of Wimbledon etc. Let someone with a future take the seat.

Which is a good thing but let us not forget that many teams for a long time could not survive without them. For all the bad rep that is projected on his son, Lawrence made massive investments in F1 that not only kept teams alive but in the case of Astin Martin, put it on a healthy trajectory with state of the art facilities.

    As much as I think he doesn’t deserve the seat, I do think that without Lance, Lawrence Stroll would not invest in F1 and hence we wouldn’t be able to see Alonso fighting for podiums in these past couple seasons. All top teams were too occupied anyway with their young drivers talent program and would consider twice before signing Alonso back for 2023 season.
    In a universe without Lance Stroll, the team we know as AM now would probably be just some other midfielder team that wouldn’t be as entertaining to watch

    F1 is a funny thing for me. I understand that a lot of the pay to play drivers also helped float certain teams when money was a bit tight. So hopefully the driver pool will start to shake up a lil bit. If it doesn't, i don't think the overall feel of F1 will change for us that aren't true die-hards. I enjoy the absolute precision and interesting tactics used and also the general coolfactor of an F1 race being so well shot for viewers! Since the racing doesn't have a ton of action, it's very nice to throw it on, and be able to listen and still know that you didn't miss much visually. I just want to see the drivers be legit track monsters... And i think Lance really is. He can wheel that sumbitch even if papa made it actually come to fruition!

    Let's not forget how Valtteri deliberately joined Mercedes, because he wanted to be the Hamilton's pet, instead of a Formula 1 champion. Stroll may have been labelled as "Daddy's cash", but Bottas has less trophies than Harry Kane and is worse than Jolyon Palmer. Drivers like Bottas (purposely joining a team only to make your teammate better than he actually is instead of fighting for the title) and pay drivers DON'T deserve a seat in F1, while drivers like Oliver Bearman, Mick Schumacher, Nicholas Latifi and Bruno Senna definitely deserve a seat in F1.

    If stroll wasn’t such a terrible driver I wouldn’t be annoyed. All of these other drivers have to prove themselves to be in f1.

He has been in f1 for 7 years and just because he’s good in the wet doesn’t mean he’s worthy of f1. He still makes very stupid rookie mistakes and causes millions of dollars of damage. It was fine when the team was starting to figure things out and he could hide behind the fact that he was bad. But now they’re a legitimate title contender and he still fucks it into the barriers every other fucking race.

    It is a given that Lance is just an okay driver and trying his darnest to be at a level of the current greats. The place he occupies in F1 is just fair since to enter F1 you have to have money or talent to be hired. Lance's family does not bankrupt a country or enslave a nation just so he can afford to race. So, it is just fair. He is burning his own money from their various business empires and Lance has skills except he is not a Lewis or Max (yet) or maybe never but whatever he has the money so he races. If I was him, for sure I would do the same and many would want to be in his shoes.

    He might've bought his way into F1 but his efforts are evident in races. Understandably, he has the backing of his billionaire dad so his seat is under no threat. But unlike, Maze spin, this guy puts himself out there despite abuses hurled over him and has statistically shown good performance, if not the best.
    Yes, he has some behavioral problems like a rich spoiled guy, but we have to consider the highly stressful race situations a driver is in. It's not an easy task to maintain your composure during the race and money can never buy that.
