Well, I firmly believe that if he wasn't driving Daddy would part ways with AM so...
Obviously Papa Stroll only got involved in the first place because of his son, but I think he's actually pretty committed to making AM a success now. His goal is to make Lance a WDC, but if he can't do that, or if Lance decides he wants to try something else, I think he'll stick with trying to fill the AM silverware cabinet.
He needs money back on his investment, he's not in it for the love of it, it's a money machine, if it's considered a failure he'll lose loads.
Son is mediocre at F1, I couldn't be lance stroll knowing that I'm only their cos my parents and not on merit.
Man of Honour
Given how little he paid for Force India and the new cost cap / entry rules having sent the value of existing teams soaring, I doubt there's a world in which Stroll will ever lose money on the Aston Martin F1 Team investment.

Fair point, it's currently valued at $1.5bn and they paid $117m for it. He might have lost on his stake in Aston Martin proper, but I doubt it was on a scale to overturn those kind of gains.
He had a pretty good lower formula record.
I like the fact Brown isn't dropping this; https://www.planetf1.com/news/zak-brown-demands-red-bull-sign-affidavit-bibgate-paddock-tip-off
This line is interesting from him;
So it's not just a case of they have it, a handful of people are actually suggesting it has been used in parc ferme.

But not exemplary, I'm not saying he's terrible, and I'm sure he's a fast driver, just maybe not in F1, he's just ok, I forget he's even on the grid half the time.

I feel like Stroll has had enough impressive drives to believe that he's actually got the pace needed to be a genuinely good driver; his problem is that he is woefully inconsistent and doesn't seem to improve over time. As well as some just embarrassing moments like when he drove into DR under safety car. If one was inclined to armchair psychoanalysis one might wonder whether having been given so much without having to work for he's never acquired that bit of grit and determination that the very best need; that would let him push himself to the degree needed.
Continuing this here, as the US race thread got locked
Lando was ahead of Max on the straight before the corner, by a full car length, plus 0.015, as shown on the position timing info during the race : see screenshot of the race below (Lando P3, Max P4)
So going into the corner Lando was defending and Max overtaking.
Corner overtake : Max made the apex first (rule) but went off track limits (rule), so should give the place back to Lando, or face a penalty (as per the overtaking rules).
McLaren has a legit case for an appeal here!

Honestly you you need to let it go because I don't care. If you think 0.015 is totally clear for an overtake then you don't know what racing is, also Lando was so clear he made no attempt to move across and cover him. Mclaren have accept them penalty so should you.Continuing this here, as the US race thread got locked

Yo you should care because max keeps getting away with it...

McLaren have lodged a right of appeal over Norris' penalty, citing new evidence not available to them at the time. Usually these get dismissed but we shall see.

Not sure that's an open invitation to bring it into this thread and keep going round in circles?Continuing this here, as the US race thread got locked
It's happened, move on (unless you've specifically got some new facts to bring to the table as @Mr Jack above has mentioned)

I was going to post and say, guys can we stop with this over-analysis and move on? McLaren has moved on... but alas not!

Forum users aren't allowed to continue any discussion and must move on as soon as someone else choosing to read said posts gets fed up
McLaren have just lodged an appeal.
If the actual F1 team hasn't moved on from it, why should the discussion around it be stifled in a public forum...?
