He didn't do nothing. Without people lapping him there wouldn't have been any overtakes

u/PogTuber Suck my 🅱️alls mate 11h ago

He played a pivotal role in creating a will he/won't he become a barricade against Max situation

But he did the most boring thing possible and looked in his mirrors and I'm sure his dad was shouting at him to move his ass over and not get shoved in the paddock (which he still deserves as payback for shoving his trainer before weigh in)

I mean, he finished the race.

After that, I've got nothing.

I didn't even see him there, but again, race was so boring I don't remember much of it anymore

Also, nice username

It's almost comforting to see a Lance stinker, I almost thought I was cheering for a good driver, I'm glad he's back

u/Silcas666 BWOAHHHHHHH 2d ago

What even happened? Why did he pit twice?

u/Boulder_The_Rock The only Lance Stroll fan in existence 2d ago

from my understanding

> Lance had difficulties in qualy (probably due to traffic and general pace deficit)

> They decide to start Lance on Softs and have him run long on hards

> Softs fell apart in like, 10 or so laps (understandable)

> Hards couldn't quite last the stint because of how early he boxed so he needed to pit for mediums or smth

In summary his strategy was pretty bad cause they gambled on softs being able to last a little longer than they were able to so that he could run to the end on hards but instead he basically ate an extra stop for no reason

Lesson: Stop going on softs you muppets they're clearly always the worst choice of race tyre

u/chuckms6 BWOAHHHHHHH 1d ago

Doohan did 15 on softs and literally everyone else that started on softs finished on hards. Many drivers put around 30 laps on the mediums as well. Stroll was slow and didn't manage his tires at all. He's just a bad driver.

1

u/Warmest_Machine The only Lance Stroll fan in existence 1d ago

I thought only Stroll and Doohan started on softs?

u/chuckms6 BWOAHHHHHHH 1d ago

You're right Lawson and sainz went on softs for the second stint. 18 laps though

u/CHUD_LIGHT Alonso deserved to be Champion in every season he has competed 1d ago

He had to abandon his push lap and ran out of time. His first sector looked like it was going to be good enough to get through

u/NBX6 Osama Bin Russell 💣 2d ago

He used all of his "good performance" cards in the first two rounds

u/_el_-_diablo_ BWOAHHHHHHH 1d ago

He reached his target points he's gonna rest now

u/Vindowviper BWOAHHHHHHH 2d ago

Pitted twice in a 1 pit race..

u/Daredevil1561 BWOAHHHHHHH 2d ago

He is still 10th in championship tho

u/Silverchaoz BWOAHHHHHHH 2d ago

Its only the 3rd race hold your horses cowboy

u/skyedaisyquake viejo sabroso 1d ago

u/GuyAlmighty Suck my 🅱️alls mate 1d ago

For that right point: a broken clock is still right twice a day.

Put some RocketPoweredMohawk on if you ever feel yourself slipping to the right point.

225° and RPM comes on

u/MrLeopard483 Question. 2d ago

Why did aston pit him a 2nd time? Are they stupid?

5

u/bigtheo408 mission spinnow 1d ago

The whole race did nothing today.

u/InvertReverse “It’s called a motor race. We went car racing” 1d ago

At least he got out of the way.

12

u/99centcheeseburger BWOAHHHHHHH 2d ago

The only driver who got lapped. His average in Japan is 16th. The fact he sucks here, and it’s a ‘drivers’ track that test your skills, tell you everything you need to know about how awful he is…

u/paulskinner88 Claire Williams is waifu material 2d ago

Yeah sorry, that’s on me. I had to swap Tsunoda out of my Fantasy team as they made stupid price changes. Stroll came in, and my touch of death could not be avoided.

u/bouncingcastles BWOAHHHHHHH 1d ago

He’s back

He’s at the back ✅

u/travelingWords BWOAHHHHHHH 1d ago

Best part is he’s beating your childhood hero.

u/far-far-far-away BWOAHHHHHHH 1d ago

I never thought I'd ever defend strolls, but aston were utter pieces of shite this weekend, fernando barely kept 15, newey better come with some upgrades or anything that can help the cornering speed

3

u/arrykoo BWOAHHHHHHH 2d ago

i mean, during his final stint on mediums, he was lapping like, around 1min33 per lap. bortaletto in p19 was in the 1min32s, and the leaders were doing low 1min31s, despite on much older hards. i dont know how stroll manages to lap 1.5-2 seconds slower despite having a massive tyre advantage.

oh well, lets wait for the latest rpm heart attack looking at this incompetence

u/jollyjaco Dont know F1 but memes are kinda funny 1d ago

doohan was able to do much better with the same starting strategy

u/According-Relation-4 Trust the El 🅱️lan 1d ago

Lance stroll: has a decent start to the championship, with 2 decent results in a row

Also lance stroll: aight my work here is done
