    Stroll’s gap to his teammate is as large as most of the rookies on the grid to their respective teammates. But yea, his dad owns the team…what can be done. Money is privilege.

      what can be done.

      His promotion out of the race seat and into a super important management position.

        Lance isnt interested in that. If they take him out of that seat at some point, it will probably be to transfer to another series as driver. IndyCar or Nascar, I’d guess.

    The Strolls are now Astons weakest links, one being the underperforming driver, and the other, not likely to replace said underperforming driver…for obvious reasons…

    Still has the best seat security of anyone on the grid after Verstappen.

      No kidding… It’s one thing to have a pay-driver as a backmarker, but I was really hoping they would get serious about their driver lineup now that they have a competitive car.

    I was extremely disappointed to see Stroll all the way at the back of the grid. He’s really holding AM back.

    I know he only got one FP, but he’s an F1 veteran at this point (7th season). I don’t buy missing out on FP as an excuse, especially at this type of circuit. AM isn’t suited for Monza, but he was a whole .800 off Alonso in Q1 for Pete’s sake.
