    Finally a solid race for Stroll, hope he can keep it up for the rest of the season.

      I haven’t watched F1 since Jacques Villeneuve won the championship (mid-late 90s?) - is Stroll the first Canadian since?

      Was it though? Stroll had the upgrade package and still struggled to match Alonso pace running on Qatar-spec before his car failed…

      Happy for the team it looks like the upgrades helped relative to the field, but much work for Stroll still needed.

        I am not saying he is matching Alonso, that would be a fantastic result. No I am saying for Stroll it was a solid race after a lot of “bad luck” ;)

          I actually stand corrected, the data is showing he was putting down lap times near Norris’s. Pretty decent indeed.
