If Stroll Snr could furtively buy a Red Bull RB20 and paint it in Aston's livery, that might help Lance keep pace with Alonso.

“Last year, for sure, he was just quicker,... I have some ideas on where to work on, some things that I want to improve on in that regard.”

No, Fernando wasn't "just quicker", Fernando worked very hard to make sure he was quicker. I suspect he has trained for many hours every day for weeks to drive that car around that track at near record speed. You had Sebastian, one of the best F1 drivers ever, as a team mate. He trained hard to make sure he could drive his car around the track at record speed. Now you've got Fernando, another F1 legend, as you team mate, and then at the end of last season you suddenly had "some ideas" on how to improve? You don't need ideas, you need to apply yourself. An idea is useless unless it has ambition and determination. It needs a passionate heart to make its legs to run. Do your ideas have a passionate heart? I heard there was a guy called Lance Stroll, who drove an F1 car with broken bones in his arm? That sounds like a passionate heart. That is the guy who should be driving this car, not the "I have a few ideas" Lance Stroll.

In reply to Leroy. Definitely, he'd be an asset to many sportscar teams but F1 is just a bit too much for him. Aside from that weird affinity for damp-ish conditions, he can be genuinely quick in those very specific conditions.

Lance is a talented driver but he is not talented enough for that seat or for F1 at this point given the drivers that are waiting to break into F1. And more talent is not something that he can "find" at this stage of his career.

It doesn’t matter what Lance does or does not do as long as Sr. Is content to be a mid-field runner.

This just does not sound at all like he's already on top of it. What have you done over the winter? You'd expect the analysis of everything already being done and him having trained accordingly over the winter, so he can now say he's hopefully, but quite confident, to have made progress. Having to play catch up from the start again won't get him anywhere.

In reply to Fer no.65.

have some ideas on where to work on,

Not sure if lack of talent is something you can work on...

And that's why Alonso thinks he could still be racing when he's 50!

He didn't say how much. That's a start at least.

I’m not sure that drugs are the answer, Lance.

"A lot" Lance, you need to find "a lot" of speed. And consistency, you need to find a lot of consistency as well.

Some. Some speed.
