He’s better than every single rookie on the grid. Years of mediocrity? Ocon, Gasley, Hulk, Alex. Are all in the exact same position. Yeah stroll is one of the bottom drivers on the grid but I can’t think of a single person that should replace him other than checo. No f2 driver is better than stroll, no testing/reserve driver is better than stroll. Bottas got out shined by Zhou after Zhou got the points for that shit can.
Lawrence has thing called a board of directors. The board of directors is in place to make sure a CEO isn’t destroying the company. Lawrence might have the ultimate say, but if the board wanted stroll gone THEY WOULD MAKE THAT CLEAR. no one in that organization has ever claimed they wanted Lance gone. No whistleblower, no anonymous sources. Do you understand how hard that would be for the Drama fest rumor mill of f1 to make everyone in a position that matters pretend they like a driver?
