No idea why such hate for lance stroll.
He’s obviously fortunate, but there have been loads and loads of pay drivers in f1.
He’s not even that bad, compare him to say magnusson. Or the 2nd bloke in the Williams.
I certainly don't hate him. There are a lot of rumors that he wants to move on.He’s obviously fortunate, but there have been loads and loads of pay drivers in f1.

He's already driven the Valkyrie and was pretty impressed.... He knows full well that he's never going to be F1 WDC and he's never likely to win an F1 race, so why not.....?Edited by Aysedasi2 on Thursday 5th October 09:53

So...that's the second time A-M have said the Valkyrie will race in WEC. Wonder if they'll actually do it this time, not demand changes to the rules, making life harder for everyone then pull out, again...
To all intents and purposes, this is a customer car, so HOR must be satisfied it can (and will) be done. //j17 said:

Reading the other article, it seems that they committed to enter and then the rules changed, which is why they pulled out. Don't know what the real truth is, probably a bit of both.VladD said:

I don't believe that's the case, in fact, I understood that they got the ACO to change the rules in their favour - and then they pulled out. Aysedasi2 said:

They just committed to all AM name use for 'free' (more like at great cost to AM plus loads of cash/jobs paid to support F1 team and the odd £5m a year to drivers to be ambassadors).
Great to see it on the grid when it happens - not keen on junior driving as its an endurance race and he's not that good at running to the end of a 90 min GP
