Lance Stroll is not a quick driver, discuss...
Discussion
I think a lot of us want to believe he's a crap driver because of the way he's obtained his seat, especially after the way the undoubtedly more talented Ocon was shafted. And because Stroll has never come across as a particularly likeable bloke.
Stroll is, however, in only his 3rd F1 season. This one is his first season in a new team, and realistically you wouldn't expect him to be on par with his more experienced (9 seasons I think?) teammate. For a rookie driver in a mediocre car, he's doing well enough at the mo.
With a bit of luck, a combination of gaining experience and feeling he has a point to prove might just mould him into a half decent mid-field competitor over the course of this season.

Wow. You think 9th, a lap down is a good result? Really?
Yes, its all about the car and their car is not much good this year.I'm not saying he is a quick driver, mind...

Stroll is the poorest driver on the grid, with maybe the exception of Kubica but even then that's debatable.
A good or maybe fortunate strategy helped him to a decent result last weekend.
Ocon must be cursing the fact his dad isn't a billionaire, assuming he isn't.
Think Ocon's family were relatively poor.A good or maybe fortunate strategy helped him to a decent result last weekend.

Ocon will get his chance again.

Tbh I think Grosjean, Kubica, Giovinazzi are all far worse and I would class Stroll as on par with a few others now.A good or maybe fortunate strategy helped him to a decent result last weekend.
