Now we can look at what has happened since Stroll decided to go motor racing from the start to F1, he has injected a shed load of money into the sport, kept a lot of people in jobs I dare say and possibly even saved Williams from going under because he put his hand in his pocket and sponsored his son's racing. A lot of people are still employed because of it and I have to ask where the problem is.

I have a bigger problem with what daddy stroll is doing than I do Claire williams. Imo, if you are going to take up one of only 20 or so seats in a high level series, blocking the way for an actual merit based seat, they should have to pay for a 3rd car for the team to field another car with a driver based on merit that can't acquire the needed funds. It devalues the series when a 20 car grid in what is supposed to be the pinnacle of racing only has 12-15 actual merit based drivers.
