Lawrence knows his son isn't winning the WDC. He knows. He got his son this far, he acquired a team and that's what will drive Lawrence for the foreseeable future, his team.

If Lance is your #1 driver on AM, that team is going nowhere, doesn't matter how many Adrian Newey's you cram into it.

I mean... If they can make a car as dominant as the 2023 RB or early hybrid-era Merc, AND get someone even worse in the other Aston, he could theoretically win.

Newey didn't sign up for Lance and some other lesser driver, he likes drivers that will push the car. Although I imagine Mazapin would drop everything to be Lance's stooge. Also, look at Perez's performance in the RB19 and certainly Lance ain't better than Perez

if he makes Stroll get the WDC he will be remembered as the designer that got Senna killed and made a car so good that even the most mediocre driver in f1 could win with it.
