    Technically Lance is essential, daddy wouldn’t have purchased the team and spent a ton of money on it otherwise and without that investment the team would not be where it is today. But that’s the sole benefit

      But still, Lawrence might now want to make money on his investment now that the team is becoming more competitive and viable. Before that it made more sense to have Lance there, but now that its compromising real potential money lost Lance might have to go to WEC or retire if they have any sense. I mean idk if lance himself is enjoying it, seems miserable to me.

        Well if Lawrence sold the team today, he would receive 3-4 times the money he invested to buy the team. Even considering all the investments into the team, he would still have a massive ROI if he sold the team today. Obviously this is all only in a monetary sense and not in a sporting sense

      I don’t know. I read that as Stroll being a bad driver (can’t work around the weaknesses of the car) and a huge whiner (complains about every single thing).

    It’s really good for Alonso, he gets half decent feedback on the setup and a teammate who is not going to bother him(Ocon comes to mind).

    Mike Krack and rest of the team is going to give him more prefrence. He gets them podiums and is there best chance to win a Grand Prix.
