    He added that he felt that Lance Stroll, the son of team owner Lawrence, “has an unfairly bad rap, on average”, adding: “Any driver who gets to Formula 1 is clearly very good, but I think Lance is much better than people who’ve been very poor.”

    Seems like that’s the kindest thing he could say about him, “much better than people who’ve been very poor”

      Good at paying off the second seat drivers in the junior series to back off the competition to help Lance.

      That’s worthy of the ‘say something nice about Lance Stroll’ segment on the Midfield Podcast.
