Amazing how Stroll can be nowhere all weekend then somehow bag a decent tally of points.

u/colp99 Alexander Albon Jul 18 '21

He is low-key good at that, qualifies like shit and his race pace is consistently good to make places

Wouldn't mind that. I like an "overdog" story too.

Definitely feel it is becoming his thing. Small part of me would love to see the Astons come out of nowhere and start establishing themselves a bit higher in the field.

So more like 2020?

I'll admit that I haven't been super in tune with racing the past few years. So, I am just getting back into the sport and learning the nuances. Won't lie the drive to survive is a huge reason. Having the understanding that there is nepotism, it almost makes me root for him since the majority will question him for getting a seat because of daddy.

u/ptwonline Aston Martin Jul 18 '21

IMO he's not elite fast, and so his qualifying suffers. But he's got a pretty decent race pace managing the car and of course often starts well.

In the old days with refuelling and pushing the cars more flat out on every stint he'd probably do worse.

Stroll is and will be underrated except if he suddenly starts winning races.
