Final times after first day. Stroll...
Stroll is a good driver. I think he may surprise a few people in a decent car.
Cmon, we all know he would have never been in F1 without his Daddy money. And those flying laps on the fastest compound from 2018 during 2019 tyre tests looks like a desperate try to show the world it's otherwise

Stroll joins Nelson Piquet Jr. as the only two drivers in the history of Formula One to be outqualified for an entire season by their team mate.
The driver who did this to both of them???? Fernando Alonso.

That would be Vandoorne, no? Stroll's team mate was Sirotkin, who he outqualified a few times (at least six). He outqualified Massa twice last season, which is hardly great, but also not zero.
I do think that Stroll got to F1 too early, and there are some question marks over his worthiness to be there at all, but he has also shown flashes of promise - particularly in the wet - so I wouldn't rule out him doing better than expected in the Force India. I expect him to be soundly beaten by Pérez, however. We'll see.
You are of course right. It's Vandoorne who got "Whitewashed" this year.
