Ah yes, the classic McLaren "we've identified one issue and, for some reason, despite history telling us otherwise, we will decide fixing this one issue will make us competitive".

McLaren looked terrible at Bahrain last year and came back to almost claim 4th, if Riccairdo had contributed at all in any way whatsoever to anything they probably would have had it as well, so, it's not totally out of the question to think they will compete for best of the rest still.

I was sitting in my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous staccato of rain on my desk and reading my name on the glass of my office door: regnaD kciN

Theoretical fun possibilty:

Max continues to win P1 through Zandvoort, securing the World Championship. Riccardo then replaces Max for the rest of the seaseon. Checo continues to race all season.


Final World Championship Standings:
1- Max
2- Checo
3- Riccardo

Stroll has always been good but the mouthbreathing majority of this thread post dumb poo poo in volume to suppress any reasonable discourse. For example, note how many unironic McLaren fans post their support for fatass and his kindle billboard.

Its an offshoot of Goon of Fortune.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goon_of_Fortune

quote:

Goon of Fortune is an Australian and New Zealand drinking game involving cheap cask wine (colloquially known as "goon"), played between any number of people. The name is a spoof on the TV show Wheel of Fortune.

A number of goonsacks are pegged around the outside of a rotary washing line. Players sit underneath it at the edges and agree how much wine each "win" involves. One player spins the hoist, and when the spin stops the winner(s) nearest a bag or the bags must drink that amount. Players may not touch the clothesline, and penalties for breaking the rules vary

Stroll definitely seems to be one of the least worst when it comes to pay drivers.

He’s a coachable driver that can put in good lap times.

Shame about his racecraft though. He has been incapable of learning situational awareness.

Stroll is the essence of mediocre. He is basically never going to give an outstanding performance but neither is he very likely to be a complete embarrassment. Just bland as hell.

There's exactly three non-pay drivers in the season right now. One of them is still on the track serving a penalty.

What F1 are you watching? Stroll embarrasses himself all the time. I hold my breath every time someone goes to pass him because stroll is barely hanging onto the car and could easily wipe them both out.

My favorite non-embarassing Stroll Moment™ was when they had to tell him that he kept hitting the radio button instead of the hybrid power boost when exiting corners. Are Lance was just too absorbed in other things to notice.
