Little different putting together one flyer lap vs 56 perfect laps. The best will usually always win.

As a regular user of "Lance's" go kart track, I'm very grateful. I've spoken to Lawrence at Ferrari weekends before I even knew who he was and found him quite pleasant. Never met the kid though.

What do you have to show for your self, besides hatred and vile venom out of jealousy?

I'll agree with the Stroll part but to say Quebec is full of ******** as opposed to what, Ontario and other provinces being full of ******** too?
You must be a person with a very, very narrow minded view.

My son races karts and there are a couple of people that were involved with karting when Lance boy was buying and basically cheating his way up the ranks. There are stories flying around, first hand experience ones, that would make you think twice what Lance deserves or not. His father ruined an entire class of kart racing with this money. Pretty much anyone can be thought how to drive an F1 car if there is enough money. OK maybe not everyone but you get the point. Money can override talent. One of the stories is that Daddy Lance bought up all the 2 stroke cylinders at the beginning of the season, had them all measure, kept the best 3 or so, sent the next 10 to the scrapyard and returned the rest to the vendor to sell it to everyone else.
I was happy to see him on pole and was hoping he will be able to hang in there and prove everyone wrong but that didn't happen. He blamed the tires when they interviewed him and yet his team mate got second with the same equipment. I see this kind of behavior in karting all the time when the conditions are less than ideal. Drivers blaming the equipment and not themselves. Man up and take the blame. There is nothing wrong with that.

I totally agree with you.
Lance is at best is a second rate F1 driver and will always be at best a second driver in a top level F1 team.
At Williams or at RP, the other drivers in the same team with the same car usually beat him fair and square. I will say that lance has shown he is very good some of the time in tricky/slippery conditions.
Now this said Lance is certainly able to drive better than all of us here on this forum but he will never be a Prost, a Senna, a Max, a Lauda a Leclerc or a Hamilton... These drivers were/are exceptional drivers with extraordinary natural talents of the likes a Michael Jordan, a Lebron James in the NBA or a Wayne Gretzki or Mario Lemieux in hockey.
At the Turkish GP, although he was in the lead until he pitted, things fell apart after the pit stop because he could not switch the Inters "ON" like the other drivers.
If Vettel next year blows him out of the water on track, then the partners at Aston Martin will have to decide what actions to take in regards to their drivers.
Enough said.

Not at all, just calling it the way I see it.
BTW, I never said he wasn't talented, just not as good as people think he is and again certainly not a top F1 driver.
Canada has produced some really good if not exceptional drivers in the past and I'm sure will produce more in the future... Here are a few Canadian drivers that made a mark in auto racing... Gilles Villeneuve, his son Jacques Villeneuve (he won the F1 Driver's Championship plus the Indy 500), Jean-Francois Dumoulin (24 hours of Daytona, twice), his brother Louis-Philippe, Richard Spénard, the unfortunate Greg Moore, Bruno Spengler (DTM for Mercedes and BMW).
I am sure that I am forgetting some other drivers that should be added to my list above and I apologize for it.

The bottom of the front wing was damaged on lap 30 or 31. The data and radio transmissions to and from the cockpit attest to an issue was noticed when Lance started to understeer and rooted his 1st set of intermediate tires. The team boxed him to put on another set of tires hoping it was just the tires and it didn't solve the issue. Autosport reported that an under-wing aero device (something called a 'strake') had broken off and lodged under the wing which interrupted the airflow and stalled the front wing. Data is showing he lost 40% download to the front wing. We saw this a race ago at Imola when someone picked up a piece of Seb's Ferrari and got stuck under the front wing and the same handling issues developed. These generation of cars are so touchy to this type of stuff now.
