Why would Lawrence (& pals) fund a team & Aston Martin and then at the same time pay for his son to drive at another competitor team?
Lance will be going nowhere pretty much regardless of what he does. That said as weak as his qualifying pace usually is, he has improved it since last season and he does tend to race well. He keeps out of trouble and generally makes up places in a race rather than falling off the track, he's far from the best driver in F1 but he does the job he's there to do even if Perez and Vettel would be the better pairing. 
Russell and Latifi stay at Williams for 2021 https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.russell...

If his dad wasn’t Lawrence Stroll he would never have seen the inside of an F1 car. As you’ve noticed he’s regularly beaten by someone who isn’t rated too highly for anything other than nursing a set of tyres.
Given the crap cars he's driven until this season it's hard to make a proper judgement about how good he really is. Some drivers just can't perform in a car that doesn't work how they like it, look at Button as a prime example of that. Or think of it another way, the it's likely George Russell will have beaten 2 team mates who are there purely down to cash and will have failed to score a point in his first 2 seaons in F1. That record on paper isn't someone worthy of being in F1 either, but there's more to it than that.
Ok im not so happy with the stuff going on outside the car where they seem to be preying on the meek perez exterior but large stroll is quite a good father.
Even with his billions he still wants his son to eclipse his own efforts and be a f1 world champion.
Shame they seem to want to do it at the expense of Perez.
The ideal solution is not to sign vettel. Has the glutton not had enough success and cracks at the title?
This is the only bit thats really wrong. Even someone supposedly ruthless like alonso didn't want to go there.
