I'm sure there is a much, much, much better junior driver who can actually drive an F1 car and not be the biggest loser cvnt on the grid. But I digress; moving on

In 2026, Lance Stroll achieved impressive feats
- first driver in F1 history to reach the mark of 100 eliminations in Q1
- In 13 race stages, he still hasn't managed to complete the full distance of a race

  • Three third-place finishes (Azerbaijan 2017, Italy 2020, and Sakhir 2020).
  • One pole position at the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix
 
Also the Aston Martin is a nightmare I feel for him and Alonso moneys not well spent

This is a bit worrying. With the new regulations we see less driver skills and teammates tend to end up close to each other on qualy and races. So how Kimi was so much faster than his teammate and the rest of the field is a mystery. maybe more Merc cheating like years before.

New drivetrain and they'd turn it up to the limit to give him a home win. There was a discussion on which engine modes each driver had after the race. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets another engine at some stage or there's an engine failure.

I am not going to ping him for being a pay driver, pay drivers have been a part of the sport since its inception (back in the day they were ''gentleman'' drivers; rich aristocrats and sons of tycoons) and in the modern era nobody is reaching F1 without money behind them or being a nepo baby (check how many sons of ex-drivers are in the junior categories).

There have also been a lot worse pay drivers, but it is fair to say that he would not have got into F1 without money (granted he was a European F3 champion, but he went straight from F3 to F1) and he certainly would not have lasted as long as he has if papa Stroll didn't buy a team.

Sure but there's clearly some track changes needed...

There is not much you can do with Laguna Seca.

It is much like Zandvoort, in that it used to be a much bigger track that has been cut down in size to fit in with its limited location.

Zandvoort cuts between dunes and is hemmed in between the ocean, a national park and a residential area. It was turned into the squiggly track it is today to accommodate residential developments while developing the track in other sections is limited by is location within a national park and being up against a beachfront.

Laguna Seca itself was a much larger track built on the grounds of a former military base up in the hills. The land then became county land and now forms part of a bigger recreational park. The fact that is already cut into the hills, lays within a wider park area and local residents constantly push back against changes to the track means little can be done to it. Noise restrictions already limit the amount of events that can be held there annually and residents, with local county support, have blocked most proposed modifications because of the impact on the natural surroundings and increased noise pollution they will bring.
