Lance Stroll is not a quick driver, discuss...

Running around at the back last season, off the pace of his team mate.

Only in F1 because of daddy's money and shareholding at Racing Point.

If he was anyone else he wouldn't be there, his 'talent' would be better suited to another series - WEC perhaps? And on this point, is it a travesty that talent can't break into F1 without money and/or influence?
For instance, there's a lot of talent racing milk floats in Formula E that would be better utilised in F1 to create better racing, isn't there?

He's obviously not a quick F1 driver, the stats alone say that, but I think it's his sense of entitlement that grates, not his performances.

This, for me hits the nail on the head. It is 7nfair that his dad can force him into a team, when the team could do so much better results wise without him.

Lance Stroll has more F1 podiums than Nico Hulkenberg.

Yes the money helps but he wouldn't be there if he wasn't quick enough.

But does he have more than his team mate?

Hmm. This just popped up on my Instagram. If proof were needed he's not quick, over half a second slower and six places behind his team mate in the same machinery...
