I also think that could be why he won't go to, or wouldn't stay at, Ferrari - I think he needs too much cuddling, and I'm not sure Ferrari would swallow that.

Are you really talking about racing there Guy? :D:D:D
All that cuddling and swallowing. :D:D:D

Interesting times. Not sure how long Stroll can keep trying his hand in F1, keep hearing rumblings that Toto may be aiming to get Vettel in an Aston Martin seat...

But even a father's love can only hide an inability to drive an F1 car so long! :D

True JB, in absolute terms. But in relative F1 terms, he has been royally spanked by Sergio at almost every turn! And the straights. :D

[Edit: He's also got quite a whiney voice!]

To be honest Guy, the whiney voice almost seems to be a pre-requisite for an F1 driver these days. I've heard them all at it, Hamilton, Vettel, LeClerk, Verstappen, the list goes on... ;)

They'd probably barely have time to draw breath, whining so much about the car. :rolleyes:


Let alone the danger. The modern cars almost guarantee they will walk away from an accident. The old cars almost guaranteed they'd die in a pile up.

But will he get World Championships 7 & 8 with Ferrari? Which no doubt that's what he wants.

Exactly. Why change now when there is a winning combination around him.
He will achieve 7&8 championships with Mercedes-Benz as opposed to Ferrari.
