Imagine the scenario where a driver with the age and results of Lance Stroll were promoted to the Williams F1 team. The one difference being that he has a group of sponsors and his father is not well known and is able to bankroll a limited amount of his racing.
Would there be nothing but praise for the lad? Would we not see it as Williams signing a potential star of the future? Would the only thing we could knock Williams down for would be banking too much on inexperience? And could that point not be countered with praise for such a gamble given the junior formulae results of this driver?
It's quite pathetic really. I don't think he'd be near F1 had he have won a race in F3, got 6 podiums and finished 7th in the championship regardless of his dad's pockets.
And as for what Stroll can achieve in F1, only time will tell.
