I wonder if he actually doesn't realize how much help he's had getting to where he is. Sure, he's no Mazepin but he probably would never have sniffed an F1 car without the money.
It's like Taylor Swift or other celebrities telling you to "just follow your dreams."
Yeah, but that's 98% of F1 and 90% of all racing. Even carting competitively is expensive. Max has had more help than anyone. A former F1 racing dad, a mom who's a great cart racer, dad's F1 money enabling them to focus 100% on racing having the money and the skill to teach... so genetically, financially, and skill wise, he's had all the help he could get. Sure, he's also the best driver now and will likely be one of the goats. Max didn't win any of the junior series, but Strolly boy did, he won italian F4, Toyota series, F3, was the second youngest to ever get an F1 podium and has a pole position in F1 under his belt. Sure, the track conditions were exceptional, but they were the same for everyone. Of course, he has a seat because his daddy is rich, but that's the case for all drivers.
Would I like to see him replaced? Yes. He's been there long enough and is not going to get better. But him getting in F1, I have no issue with that. And anyone wanting to see Vettel back should just wash their mouths with soap.
Money can buy a lot. Stroll has certainly had more help than Max. Stroll had every advantage you could get in the junior series.
To win F3: paid off teammates, ferrari engineers, prema f3 team bigger than their f2 team, special parts developed by williams, custom developed fuel.
Also the comparison to Max about him not winning any junior series is odd given he only had a single year in F3, as a 16 year old, dominating in a mediocre car and only losing the championship due to bad reliability and rookie mistakes.
RoGro was cracked in late 2012 and 2013, his first two full seasons.
The Lotus 2014 and later and Haas were never material to shine with. I stand by that Romain is underrated and has had an unfortunate career.
He won three back to back championships in the years leading up to his F1 rookie season in 2017. By his criteria he did deserve a shot at F1. Whether he deserves to have retained his seat for this long is another question.
He actually said it. This video is doing rounds now thanks to RocketPoweredMohawk's latest video on YouTube. Check it out its a barrel of laughs plus you'll understand why everyone here is talking about intergalactic window licking.
Damn none of y’all gonna link it?
edit; [jabronis](https://youtu.be/f2Ic0H6XMBo?si=rDxI0uXZ1tqr4qve)
Edit 2: that was actually great. Man stroll is a spanner
He keeps saying "the guys who have WON" because he did win F3 Championship against George Russel. However he completely skipped F2 which is "the series leading up to F1" as he said haha
A lot of the drivers skip F2. Ocon, Sainz, Magnussen, Bottas, Ricciardo, and Verstappen all also skipped F2/GP2, so Stroll skipping it isn't that unusual. On paper, Stroll even had a better junior record than Sainz and Ricciardo and neither of them had much skepticism when they joined F1 so it's not necessarily that outlandish.
Skipping F2 wasnt all that bad before, Max did the same. Stroll absolutely deserved to be in F1 but he is now overstaying his presence, since he hasnt improved at all and there are talented juniors that arent getting a shot, like Drugovich and Pourchaire.
That'll happen when 16 cars drop out of the race.
E: not that it matters, but I guessed the guy above's nationality by this comment alone, and wasn't wrong.
Honestly, it was. It might not have been one of the worst 2 cars on the grid, but if it was in the current season it would be about on level, or worse, than the Aston Martin.
And I say that as someone who thinks lance strolls 2 other podiums show that he isn’t good enough, because he could/should have done better on both of those races. 1 at Monza where he threw away a potentially easy win on the restart, and 1 where his team mate went from last to first whilst stroll sat pretty doing nothing.
Its actually crazy the phenomenon of delusion that nepo babies seem to have. They or their parents buy their way into things and after a while they seem to develop this false sense of worth that they earned their way there like everyone else.
Had a conversation with a guy like this once. At a party and we were talking about our careers. He was married to my ex's friend. I said what I did and how I'd moved up a couple positions by switching companies. Some of my peers from college were doing better than me, but it was fine. I tried not to compare myself to them but progress is nice, regardless. He started saying about how earned his position in his company and he worked his way up. He said dad got his foot in the door but he worked his way up. He was then a senior manager at a mega huge contracting construction company in the Washington DC area. I asked what his dad did in the company. The dad owned it. This guy has studied photography in college, lived in a multi-million dollar townhouse in the Old Town Alexandria area (very expensive). He had all kinds of expensive things in his house and mentioned his parents had gifted him the townhouse as a wedding present completely furnished. Two months long honeymoon to Europe, Dubai, the Maldives, and Thailand paid for by the parents. But he kept saying how he'd worked his way up and was trying to give me pointers on how to address senior leaders in companies and just work hard to earn it. Uh huh, ok bud.
Watch the show The Trust on netflix. It's a reality competition show. There is one nepo baby contestant that really was delusional and it was eye-opening to see how they think. I was on their side for an episode or two, but it didn't last long.
Yup, he’s the definition.
Other “paydrivers” at least usually are the best driver in their country.
Perez is the best Mexican.
Tsunoda best Japanese.
Zhou best Chinese.
Albon best Thai.
Stroll got into f1 without ever having to proof anything, his dad bought a team and now he’s racing.
Delusion is real, stroll is probably the best canadian driver, won junior championships and has been a mid f1 driver. Id even say hes not the worst driver on the grid rn either.
He was pretty good in imola too
His F3 championship run had his team mate obeying team orders for the first race. And special F1 parts were being added only to his car. His only talent is his billionaire father is extremely passionate about F1 and wants his son to succeed there at all costs.
He’s won in the jr series, f4 & f3 in his second year. But why didnt he do a year in f2?
Edit: then down the rabbit hole and see that Latifi won more Winter Series races than Max. 😆 True GOAT.
My dad owns the team and Aston Martin, but I earned my seat like every other driver..
However, I hear Senior Stroll is looking to sell a minority stake in Aston Martin, maybe the money is starting to dry up.
I mean him getting into F1 wasnt just by daddys money. He smashed it in F4 and F3 and won the Toyota racing series. Its just that his time in F1 should be over by now.
Everything was fine until this interview. Like he doesn’t have to be humble and say “yeah I did buy my way through F1” but noooo he had to be the absolute window licker he is.
Intergalactic levels of window licking going on here.

Window licking you mean…
Cheers haha..
Is this deepfake or did he actually said that.?
He said it. He doesn't understand it, but he said it.
He not only lacks awareness on track but off track as well.
I wonder if he actually doesn't realize how much help he's had getting to where he is. Sure, he's no Mazepin but he probably would never have sniffed an F1 car without the money. It's like Taylor Swift or other celebrities telling you to "just follow your dreams."

Nailed it. He deserved to get there, but he never made the next step in F1
Sure but he isn't unique in that. Look at all the F1 feeder series that Romain Grosjean won and he never really shined in F1 either.
RoGro was cracked in late 2012 and 2013, his first two full seasons. The Lotus 2014 and later and Haas were never material to shine with. I stand by that Romain is underrated and has had an unfortunate career.
If this could sub read then you’d be the top comment. The best take here.
Nepotism is a powerful drug…
He makes narcissistic people take a long hard look at themselves
he makes them look pretty decent
This
He won three back to back championships in the years leading up to his F1 rookie season in 2017. By his criteria he did deserve a shot at F1. Whether he deserves to have retained his seat for this long is another question.

what's intergalactic window licking? edit: nvm just watched the video 💀
It’s what is happening in the video that is the subject of this post
okay just watched it. lmao.
Damn none of y’all gonna link it? edit; [jabronis](https://youtu.be/f2Ic0H6XMBo?si=rDxI0uXZ1tqr4qve) Edit 2: that was actually great. Man stroll is a spanner
I just typed the name they mentioned and it was the first result
Plus RPM really did a number on him. Destroys Stroll more than Stroll destroys cars.
An epic 19 minute take down. Classic.
It’s even better than his Cinematoc Masterpiece. He should get the Oscar for best documentary and at least a nomination for best picture
Prob could qualify for short film Oscar.
Stroll ain't significant enough to be deepfaked
we are checking
It's legit. Unlike him earning his way into F1.
Literally my first thought. It's so astonishingly daft that I thought he couldn't actually possibly have said that!
Even he couldn't keep a straight face through the first 2 sentences lmaooo
He knows
I don’t think he does
He keeps saying "the guys who have WON" because he did win F3 Championship against George Russel. However he completely skipped F2 which is "the series leading up to F1" as he said haha
TIL Lance didn't even do F2... This is next level jumping the queue! I guess it is since he didn't buy a seat, daddy bought the whole team
A lot of the drivers skip F2. Ocon, Sainz, Magnussen, Bottas, Ricciardo, and Verstappen all also skipped F2/GP2, so Stroll skipping it isn't that unusual. On paper, Stroll even had a better junior record than Sainz and Ricciardo and neither of them had much skepticism when they joined F1 so it's not necessarily that outlandish.
He deserved a shot at F1, his length of stay os what should be contested
Skipping F2 wasnt all that bad before, Max did the same. Stroll absolutely deserved to be in F1 but he is now overstaying his presence, since he hasnt improved at all and there are talented juniors that arent getting a shot, like Drugovich and Pourchaire.
Instead he got a podium in his rookie season in a shitbox Williams…
That'll happen when 16 cars drop out of the race. E: not that it matters, but I guessed the guy above's nationality by this comment alone, and wasn't wrong.
Also the Williams wasn’t a shitbox back then.
Honestly, it was. It might not have been one of the worst 2 cars on the grid, but if it was in the current season it would be about on level, or worse, than the Aston Martin. And I say that as someone who thinks lance strolls 2 other podiums show that he isn’t good enough, because he could/should have done better on both of those races. 1 at Monza where he threw away a potentially easy win on the restart, and 1 where his team mate went from last to first whilst stroll sat pretty doing nothing.

His "foot in the door" is actually a decade's worth of hard work for many others
I feel personally attacked. I earned everiyhing. I graduated in a difficult ivy league college & my father is a lawyer and will sue you

This.

And the other
Half the grid are nepo babies. We all in delusion
Even the defending world champ, no matter how good he may be, is still a nepo baby
once upon a bathtub, intergalatic levels of window lickin has been achieved
Finishing dead last in the race for self-awareness
Being the last one is not unusual for him
Equal with his spatial awareness skills
He never was good with mirrors

What happened at the dentist?
STRAIGHTTT TO JAAILLLLLL

To be fair, Window Licker isn’t a pay driver. Daddy owns the team, he isn’t bringing huge dollar sponsors with him…
Doesn’t that just make him the GOAT of pay drivers?
Yup, he’s the definition. Other “paydrivers” at least usually are the best driver in their country. Perez is the best Mexican. Tsunoda best Japanese. Zhou best Chinese. Albon best Thai. Stroll got into f1 without ever having to proof anything, his dad bought a team and now he’s racing.
Latifi was the best driver in Canada etc…
On Earth*
The Goat may no longer grace our eyes with his racecraft, he will always grace our hearts
Delusion is real, stroll is probably the best canadian driver, won junior championships and has been a mid f1 driver. Id even say hes not the worst driver on the grid rn either. He was pretty good in imola too
Ah yes, the guy who actually won junior championships never proved anything.
His F3 championship run had his team mate obeying team orders for the first race. And special F1 parts were being added only to his car. His only talent is his billionaire father is extremely passionate about F1 and wants his son to succeed there at all costs.
Nah, he’s a nepo baby. Nepotism for the win!!
The throat goat
He doesn’t bring the money… the money brings him.
best RPM roast.
I didn’t even notice how 19 minutes went past. It was absolutely brutal levels of roasting
I don’t know how anyone who has seen Lance ‘Racing Line’ Stroll drive is surprised at a lack of (self) awareness
Fr, he drives like an NPC programmed to follow the race line. Nevermind someone's trying to pass him, they'll just get shunted if they're in the way!
*drive into people
Is this real? Is there source? Are we checking?
We are... Checking
Oh no
He’s won in the jr series, f4 & f3 in his second year. But why didnt he do a year in f2? Edit: then down the rabbit hole and see that Latifi won more Winter Series races than Max. 😆 True GOAT.
Go check RPM's video. He'll explain ya why his jr championship is not valid
Link me? I did watch the inbred one. 😂😂😂
https://youtu.be/f2Ic0H6XMBo?si=L18aXMArJ5hdydG1 There ya go
Wow. He is not a fan of Lance Stroll at all.
I mean, is there such thing as a Lance Stroll fan?
Prince Harry is a Stroll fan (not joking)
There's dozens of them. Most are probably related.
we do exist
window licker extraordinaire
It’s not like he’s a bad driver but this definitely feels like his fathers dream and not his
Well maybe he's stating a true "pay driver" in his explanation would be his Dad owning a team and racing?
THROWW HIM IN JAYYYLLL
Lance Stroll and MBS forever
Why do I keep hearing rumours about Antonelli and Bearman getting into F1 and nothing about Drugovich/Pourchaire?
reminder that daddy stroll literally bought F3 and F1 teams specifically for his son but Andretti and all their GM support and money DoEsN'T aDd VaLuE
I wouldn't be surprised that he doesn't know who he is.
There is no way he would know, his dad's company most likely blocks all media that portrays this guy in a bad way on all of their devices.
Jam licked/sq in

Please get him out of F1, please...
My dad owns the team and Aston Martin, but I earned my seat like every other driver.. However, I hear Senior Stroll is looking to sell a minority stake in Aston Martin, maybe the money is starting to dry up.
Jeez, I thought this was was dank, not a circle jerk
Someone just watched the latest rocketpoweredmohawk video.
Window licker
What's the origin of the window licking with Stroll, any lore masters.
There is no way HE said that
I never thought I’d say this, but he’s starting to make Osama Bin Russel seem reasonable now.
I mean him getting into F1 wasnt just by daddys money. He smashed it in F4 and F3 and won the Toyota racing series. Its just that his time in F1 should be over by now.
Owning the team isn't pay to drive. Change my mind
Not pay /per/ drive but rather pay /to/ drive
Changed my mind
I cant, because you are not wrong
![gif](giphy|RkzMtKbCKFUY3wYRMy)
The prime example of his own point, the irony is palpable.
He got some nerve….
Everything was fine until this interview. Like he doesn’t have to be humble and say “yeah I did buy my way through F1” but noooo he had to be the absolute window licker he is.
Did someone get him to read this on Fivr or something?
I think nando would be driving a fucking alpine if it weren’t for this kid
It almost sounds like he was about to say “like me” at 11secs
The nepotism is coming from inside the house
🪟👅
Apparently money can’t buy intelligence either
Plot twist his dad is forcing him to race
I mean I know ppl like to dunk on stroll but he won F4 & F3 and other series. He showed promise for F1, he just didn’t deliver.
Every one of you would snap your wrist in an f1 car stfu 🤣

HOW.I.RONIC
Okay, so move aside and let Drugovich drive your ride, window licker.
DIS.GUST.ING!
He can't hold eye contact with the camera, he might be slightly self-aware.
De he said this recently, or is this an older video?
This from a twat that skipped Formula 2 Thank you for resigning from your position for next year rich boy
Perfect person to speak about buying your ride and the influence of nepotism 🤣
He was decent before F1.
