OH YEAH!



Stroll improved i guess but when you're so far in the bin to start with its hard to not do that. Williams is such a sad state where they'll just take the poo poo driver because he pays so much money into the team.

Their line up next year is going to be so poo poo.

Is Stroll worse than Kazuki Nakajima?

Yes.

Literally yes.

Nakajima was slow but consistent. Also his last season he was completely destroyed by future 2016 FIA Formula 1 World Champion Nico Rosberg but that was Rosberg's ability coming out at that time.

Stroll is all over the loving place. If you want an actual realist viewpoint... Stroll is in F1 way, way, WAY too early for his own good and career. He needs to gently caress off back to the junior categories or a side category and grow some more.

Right now he's going to be smiling from ear to ear for 2018 because it seems like Williams is going to sign on some poo poo-rear end driver possibly Russian so the gap to which this new driver beating Stroll won't be necessarily a chasm. We'll see.

God-Emperor Rossi and Luthi actually had some nice quotes for this phenomenon of people getting promoted into top tier racing far too early by highlighting Dovi in his years before he blossomed like a Terry's chocolate orange:

quote:

MotoGP legend Rossi said: "For me, the story of Dovizioso is a very good story because he passed through difficult periods in his career, especially in MotoGP.

"Everybody has to learn from him because he never gave up, he never lost the faith, he had self-belief.

"He won two races in nine years and six races in one year. To do this, you have to be strong, balanced.

"For sure you are in a hurry, yes, but everybody needs time.

"It is like this, not just in MotoGP, not just in our sport. In every sport, everybody wants the result straight away.

"You never have time."

...

Tom Luthi will step up to MotoGP with the Marc VDS Honda team next year at the age of 31, having spent 16 years in the 125cc and 250cc/Moto2 classes.

The Swiss rider believes there has been a shift in attitude among team owners recently and that they have come to realise expecting every rider to perform like Marquez is unrealistic.

"There was a time, it was incredible, everybody was asking for 20-year-old guys, it was Marquez, [Jack] Miller and guys like that, they were very young," Luthi explained.

"I think many people understand now that not everybody is a Marquez, and some guys maybe need a little bit longer to learn things.

"It was quite tough for me because, a 31-year-old, way too old, no chance anymore.

"It is also very good to see that [38-year-old] Rossi is there and wins races. That helps for sure."

Not everybody is a Verstappen. Not everyone is a Raikkonen. Those extra couple of years in lower tier categories can go a long, long way.

Then.

You are not good at grammar, Ferrari is loving team. Also, every week in Tokyo station or close to the company, the grandfathers wearing the 80's F1 cap or jacket other than Ferrari look good. I am laughing watching Benetton F1 jacket many times.
