F1 Drama Uncovered: Just how bad is Lance Stroll REALLY

I stumbled upon a gem of a post claiming Aston Martin is clinging to stroll like a limpet to a rock apparently his technical feedback is invaluable as if he's the secret sauce to their engineering woes now I'm no engineer but I think his advice might be the reason why eight years into his career the only thing Lance is racing towards is a stellar career in Reverse driving let's throw it back to 2017 ah simpler times young Lance debuts alongside Felipe Masa at Williams the team had a secret weapon no not Lance a Mercedes engine in his debut season stroll wasn't just filling the seat he was making sure it stayed warm for someone with actual points potential but let's give credit where it's due our boy Lance managed to stumble onto the podium in Baku Miracle fluke divine intervention you pick and while scoring 40 points throughout the season might not sound Earth shattering it was enough to not finish last and in the stroll Saga that's as good as a win he trailed his teammate Massa by just three points which in the grand scheme of things is close enough to call it a nailbiter if you're into that sort of thing but don't be fooled by the occasional Sparkle because most days watching stroll race was like watching someone trying to salsa dance with two left feet Charming in a bless his heart kind of way but painfully awkward to witness yes folks 2017 was the year that gave us a glimpse of the stroll phenomenon part luck part luxury and a whole lot of wait what just happened stick around as we shift gears to the family business era where the stakes get higher and the cars get pink you'll see what I mean next roll out the red carpet and cue the Royal Fanfare because in 2019 racing Point got a makeover not from just anyone but from Lance's very own dad Lawrence stroll this wasn't just keeping it in the family this was turning the team into a family heirloom with Daddy's dollar dazzling The Paddock Lance suddenly found himself with a seasoned new teammate Sergio Perez Perez a tenacious and skilled driver was like the Seasoned Chef in a gourmet kitchen whereas Lance well he was more like a contestant on a junior cooking show throughout the season the scoreboards told A Tale of Two Racers Perez weaving through the grid with the grace of a ballet dancer notched 52 points to Lance's 21 it was clear who was D dancing Swan Lake and who was still tying their ballet shoes despite the familial favoritism Lance's performances were often overshadowed by his more illustrious teammate it's like going to a concert for your favorite band and realizing the opening act might need a few more lessons this chapter in the stroll Saga was less about speed and more about inheritance while Lance had the luxury of a familial safety net beneath the Highwire of Formula 1 Perez had to walk the tight RPP without a net driven by talent and determination by the end of 2019 it was crystal clear in the fast-paced world of Formula 1 having a powerful pedigree can get you the seat but it can't drive the car for you 2020 was a year of copypaste not just emails but cars too racing Point introduced the pink Mercedes and boy did Lance enjoy that copypaste design he even snagged a pole in the rain proof that miracles happen or that he mistook the gas pedal for the break either way a Pole's a pole and as the engines cooled and the season Drew to a close fans and critics alike pondered the same question was racing Point racing towards Glory or just circling the family tree 2021 brought new challenges Sebastian vettle this was like pairing a fine wine with a burnt steak guess who was the steak despite being outclassed Lance showed persistence the kind you admire in a toddler who insists on tying his own shoes but just can't quite get it right let's park and reflect on the numbers that paint a rather sobering picture of his Formula 1 Journey since his debut Lance has amassed a total of 268 points now that might sound impressive Until you realize his teammates have collectively scored a whopping 57 points that's nearly double in the world of F1 that's like comparing a jet fighter to a paper airplane head to-head it's not much better stroll is one seven against his teammates his single triumph over Serge serotkin in 2018 the F1 equivalent of winning a chess match against your little cousin in a span of 149 Grand Prix starts Lance has had 26 dnfs that means 177% of his Races end with his car packing up before the checkered flag if there was a trophy for consistency in car breakdowns Lance would need a bigger mantle piece despite often having a capable car notably in the infamous pink Mercedes year and more recently with Aston Martin strolls performance rarely matches the machine's potential when the car is darting for podiums Lance seems to be navigating through a maze of missed opportunities 2024 isn't shaping up to be much of a turnaround with early crashes hinting that the more things change the more they stay the same it's a tough Truth for any athlete so here's the million-dollar question is Lance stroll here because he's a technical feedback Savant as as some would suggest or is he writing the coattails of his father's Financial clout while his F3 Championship days show he's not without Talent his F1 Saga leaves fans and critics alike scratching their heads let's not turn F1 into a playground where only the rich get to play Maybe It's time for the stroll to let his driving do the talking or perhaps for the sake of sportsmanship let someone else take the wheel that's our lap done with Lance strolls F1 story what do you what do you think does he have more to show or is it time for a pit stop drop your thoughts in the comments below thanks for watching and remember in racing as in life it's not just where you start but where you finish that counts
