Poll: Official 2023 Singapore Grand Prix Thread - Marina Bay Street Circuit - Round 16

As I said, Stroll's no champion, but that also applies to most of the rest of the field.

I don't think anyone is asking him to be, we just want someone half competent of which Stroll is not. He's only still in that seat because of daddy.

 

[Scam]

Nobody replacing Stroll then?

I also feel us RB haters are going to be disappointed. They’re always better in race trim, everyone will move out of Max’s way and that’ll gift him at least 5 places. A lucky SC here or there (likely here) and he can easily win it.

And always will be. If Lance quits, Chloe will probably get the seat.

Stroll's performance gives the lie to that. You don't finish in the top ten without talent. He is not a Mazepin, regularly crashing out or finishing near the back. Yes, he's not as good as Alonso, but Alonso's only equals are Hamilton and Verstappen.

 

[Mesai]

I disagree. He's no champion but he's a decent mid-field driver. This year he's regularly finished in the top ten. Ditto 2020. In 2021 & 2022 he usually finished about half-way down the field.

There are 10's of drivers who could do better than him. When you consider how many points Alonso is getting for the team vs Stroll, it's a huge loss for the team.

He's in a very good Aston Martin Of course he should be finishing top 10, especially at the start of the season when the car was so good.

How does that help the budget?

No wear on engine, gearbox etc which could be the difference between needing new parts later on or not. He might be fit enough to drive but unlikely 100% so why spend all the money to get the car ready when he's unlikely to score points.

He was injured at the start of the season.

They can't replace Stroll as the replacement has to take place in Qualifying as per the rules. Shame really, AM could get more points.

I dont consider him any better than any of the drivers below him imagine him in a lesser car waste of a seat

Didn’t know that. I assumed we’ve seen drivers being replaced from quali to the race before

AV Sync issues or miming to playback issues?

[edit] Also, got enough autotune on that?

Verstappen radio - Be a little bit careful with the blowing because with this air I can't breathe.

 

[Flibster]

Leckerc, Tsunoda, Piastri and Zhou on softs.

Verstappen, Perez and Bottas on hards.

Everyone else on mediums.

 

[Flibster]

Ocon radio - Bite point find didn't work first time.

Pit - Ok mate, understood. We'll have a look at it.

 

[Flibster]

Oh god Crofty... Learn the difference between YELLOW AND BLUE!!!!

 

[Flibster]

Tsunoda stopped on track

 

[Stumble Bum]

Are they ever going to show Hamilton replay cheating.
