Indeed Lance Stroll (or Strulovitch) is an Formula One driver because of the family fortune. Just like Nikki Lauda at one time. But he's proven himself to be a heck of a good race car driver throughout his young career and give him a good car and he'll bring the results.
Personally i don't think Force India is that much of a better car than the Williams. If i'm Lawrence Stroll i'd be better off investing in one of the better racing teams. But of course his son would have to be part of the package and most top racing teams already are set when it comes to drivers. I also heard rumours that Force India is also struggling financially and may not even have a team next season unless it's sold to Stroll. And without Stroll's money there's a good chance that Williams will not be able to field a team either.
If it were up to him Lawrence Stroll would likely prefer to invest in the Ferrari team. He's a huge Ferrari cars collector and also owns the Quebec Ferrari dealership. He loves Ferraris!!
It seems there will be a lot of changes next season when it comes to drivers. Ricciardo is likely to leave Red Bull. Strong chance Raikonen either leaves Ferrari or retires. Will Bottas be back with Mercedes? Where will Charles Leclerc end up with?
By the way conditions for qualifications earlier today were awful because of the rain. Lewis Hamilton ended up getting the poll position ahead of Bottas and the Ferraris. Stroll qualified for Q2 but ended up crashing due to slippery conditions and the team chose to keep his car in the garage. The front wing came off during the minor collision. It shouldn't be a problem for tomorrow morning's race. Ricciardo had a terrible run & surprisingly even Verstappen didn't fare as good as expected.
