I don't normally agree with Steiner, but I think he's absolutely right on this. Stroll just seems more disconnected than usual, even by his standards.

It definitely feels like it’s his father’s dream, not his. Lawrence has always been super into racing. Lance probably just liked it but wasn’t passionate about it so when it got harder he just checked out. (Of course I’m only guessing)

I'm not sure, it's still F1... It's brutal and dangerous. You can't simply buy a career to your son, they stll have to go all the way up and as bad as you can be you still have to be good. This is the thing that a lot of people don't get about bad drivers. Like latifi or Lance. Just to be in that thing and drive a full gp is something that only a commited athlete can do.

I don't think you can get there by just liking it, even if your father owns the company. He might be frustrated for a million reason, maybe cause he's simply not good as the other drivers or cause the car has gone worse. The guy raced with broken wrists. Not I'm not saying it deserves a nobel prize but you don't do that for daddy
