How to Buy Your Way Into Formula 1 

lol

@@NiceBaconNiceNice ur stalking me 💀

Step one: have billions, step 2: do what Lawrence did

@@mika2666 at least somebody gives me a tutorial 💀

*you* clicked onto a 12min tutorial?

Such a sad story that this has happened as they are plenty of talented drivers who deserve a seat I cannot understand as to why Aston Martin shareholders do not step in Aston Martin have decent car look at what Alsono has achieved just imagine with two awesome drivers who achieve

Lawrence: But for the championship you have to win the final bosses, Vettel and Alonso emerge

he is the guaranteed safety car on the arabian GP.

99.9% of humans out there : Daddy, I'm hungry living in a bubble worried about BS ! We don't love our species colleagues ?

You: Daddy stop touching me. Your daddy: No im cumming inside you boy😂

Yaas, they have to have drama or people wouldn't watch

That's all F1 is anymore lol, a circus.

I found my people 😂

Me too, I’m a gossip slut

😂

With a dad like his no wonder

Agree. Best dad ever. Too bad yours probably came short in your childhood so you project your jealousy onto comments in YT. That's ok. We understand.@@carlosgoden4424

@@carlosgoden4424 XD you're funny. Max destroys everyone

There is a reason he is the youngest F1 driver ever😂

@@cursed2322 that’s why he’s the 🐐

paying attention and breaking apparently was too hard a task for him.

@@LunnarisLP Unironically, yes. Many of his radio comments have made very clear that he simply doesn't have the headspace of real F1 drivers. It's why he has stupid crashes so often. He just turns into the apex without checking his mirrors because he's literally incapable of doing that while braking for the corner at the same time.

I'm not into F1 but, I am into a spiral of nepotism and corruptions scandals videos in RU-vid. Can you pass me an article of what happened or what has happened since this video?

@@97akiru You should be more than capable of finding that information on your own.

​@@moonytheloony6516son, instead useless comment you couldn't write useful one. You're capable of do it.

⁠@@pio7763Telling someone that you believe in their ability isn’t useless lol

@@brysonhumphreys6043 sorry I was thinking he was just a d..ck and he wanted to uplift this young men. Teach him how to use Google. It's obviously difficult task for you and some others and require motivation. My mistake.

99% of sport is like this. Capitalism ruins everything. National teams competing fixes some of the issues, but any private league, so all of motorsports, suffers from this

Who’s we😭it was never in our control. Even if we wanted it to be

Money cannot buy skill though

Unfortunately that appears to be correct in some areas but also talent is required in FI

@@wile123456Even under socialism or communism you get corruption like this.

He's terrible and would never have made it to the premier class without daddy's cheque book.

@@razgriz380 He's definitely not terrible, just not top 5 F1 team good. On the other hand there probably are better drivers that deserve his seat more but he's definitely good enough for a back of the pack team.

@@_Tp___ I'm sorry but I have to disagree. He's average at best and frankly when it comes to the premier class that's not good enough. The point of F1 is the best drivers duking it out, some with better machinery of course, but skill is paramount to move to better machinery. Stroll doesn't fit either category, little skill and only moves up in equipment quality thanks to daddy buying him a team to mould around and he still manages to come off second best to a significantly older driver. He needs to retire and take up the tennis dream of his, where he will likely be just as talentless but that's the problem of Wimbledon etc. Let someone with a future take the seat.

@@razgriz380 I did used to agree but he has pulled off some solid, not extraordinary, but decent races so like I said he isn't good enough to drive in his current team. On the issue of pay drivers I completely agree they shouldn't be there and someone with more raw talent should be there but unfortunately F1 is dominated by money.

@@razgriz380 He is a former F3 European champion and got enough superlicense points to earn the license. If he is that bad like you are shit talking him, then he wouldnt have a f1 license. Btw. what are your earnings in motorsport besides beeing a hater with no knowledge?

Agreed. Maybe this is why Prema has decided to enter IndyCar. Stroll Sr. knows his son can't survive in F1 for much longer and wants him racing somewhere deciding to bankroll this effort.

@@scsmith4604 The Aston Martin team will be sold by 2026. Honda is coming and there is a great Japanese F1 driver looking for a seat. We know the history of how that works. Someone will get the toss and it won't be Alonso. Honda has already forgiven him for the GP2 engine comment.

@@scsmith4604 no disrespect for indy But he could join valkyrie seats at le mans

Valid assumption but still an assumption

Could be worse, he could have had Jos Verstappen for a dad....

He's good enough to be in F1 just not enough to be teammates with Alonso lol

@@Carlos-ln8fd there are plenty of drivers in the world good enough to be in F1. Lance is not in the top of that list nor he's marketable (Like Ric or Sargeant). No team would offer him a seat, there would be absolutely nothing to gain with Lance without daddy's money

@@Carlos-ln8fd No he isn't, because there is multiple F2 drivers waiting to get in more competent than him. Get rid of the trash so new talent can develop

@@wile123456 do you really think he's the worst in the grid?

@@Carlos-ln8fd Just by sheer amount of years of experience, he's car from the worst in the grid. But at the same time, it's reasonable to expect better results now that he is a veteran driver. That's why in my opinion F1 is not the place for him: we know too well now what he could accomplish sometimes but even more what he can't in diverse situations. It's quite clear that the risk to reward ratio would be much more promising with new talents in those limited F1 seats than with someone that's consolidated as a "meh" driver

Good point.

@@Notavailable375 Yes, A fair point, but if that team would be determined to be a liability, A lot of money is just waiting to buy this team and put 2 Good drivers in the seats.

LH isn't rich like him

@@SimonK3113one of the very few

It’s not how he got his seat, it’s that he can’t lose it. Many drivers get a seat through wealth, but if they perform like shit they still usually get dropped. Stroll’s teammates will always lose their contracts, no matter how well they perform, so long as stroll is on the team

To be fair, you can buy an F1 seat, but you can’t buy points, podiums and a pole.

@@averageuser2027 You should look into the circumstances of those results.

@@averageuser2027 Your mum buys pole.

Lol you really think stroll has 0 talent and hasn’t worked very hard to get there? People who are clueless about F1 crack me up. Let’s just talk about the athletical performance… do you understand what you have to go through so that your body can go through such level of Gs during 2 hours at 100% concentration? The kilos of water you lose in just 2 hours? How precise, consistent, multi tasker and blondy fast you have to be? How many paying drivers do you think have made a pole, podiums and that much point, without ever driving a top car? I don’t particularly care about him but tired to always hear idiotic F1 newbs criticizing drivers as if they would’ve done much better. I bet you are nobody on your local go kart circuit. Well the best driver at your local circuit would stand no chance in a local F4 champioship, most probably. You need a superlicence to drive an F1… and you can’t buy it.

Except Lance dominated other top drivers in the same cars. In F3 he won the title beating 2nd place by 180 points with 14 wins absolutely dominated Lando Norris, Russel, Zhou and Mazapin who've all been F1 drivers. Saying he didn't earn a shot when he absolutely ran through the competition just shows a complete lack of understanding.

Yeah but most F1 drivers don’t have their family buy an entire F1 team for them

@@YungGauchoso what lol not that much of an advantage

@@josh3.064 thats a huge advantage you dunce. It prevents him from getting kicked off the team, which should’ve have happened already if he raced for anyone else

I don't think it's all of them, a lot, but the rich one was not as rich as Stroll being able to stay in F1 because of his fathrr

Agreed

hulkenburg and magnessun are not much better

​@@marknicol9405they definitely are

The bottom line needs to reach the black screen at some point

bro managed to get 2.5/7 words wrong, quite something to be worst then yourself

nah dont care. If your team sucks ass and cant do finances, sell or close your team. Nepotism has no place in sports and compitition. Only the best should compete, simple as.

There would be no best if here isnt any team that exists for them. Thats what the og comment is trying to say ​@@wile123456

​@wile123456 thats... thats literally what happened. Force india didnt have no money so lawrence bought em out and made them way better and more competitive than before.

@@bigdaddyrv16 Really? That's your take from all This?

@robertviens6104 look. Ill admit lance doesnt deserve his seat. But you also have to admit Lawrence has done more for his team and f1 as a whole than someone like Gene Haas.

Capitalism means anyone with too much money either becomes purely evil or a moralless nepo baby

i'm from both canada and north america and that line honestly threw me off so hard

Lewis came from a middle class family. Not poor but still

Wow... with so much processing prowess, NASA is missing out on you

Points

yeah ur just another stupid lance stroll meat rider

so as long as the season is never 3 races, he's got a snowballs chance in hell. Thanks for that input.

If you are overpointing a world champ that’s not a good comparison ? Who is that comparison unfavorable to?

Huh ?

That was awful, yet 100% justified.

Yes, he won thanks to political BS and super preferential treatment. Russell called Prema on their absurd way of handling the team that year, they completely ruined Nick Cassidy who was the favorite going into that championship. Prior to that he had done nothing, he was destroyed by Latifi and Verstappen in Winter Series and in karting he won nothing in Europe.

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 Yh stroll was bankrolled his entire career, best engineer, best teams. all drivers are basically millionares but Russell won his F2 championship in an average team because Merc want their talent to prove themselves first. You also don't need to win the championship to get the points needed for F1, I think that rule has changed though.

@@JuicedOnKids yeah okay but how do you explain the fact that he did ffront row start in monza + podium in his rookie career? If he was THAT carried by money and not talent?

Money buys everything... if you don't think you can BUY a license your fooling yourself

@@oldgolfpunk money never buy a good rookie season, podiums and pole position. you're fooling yourself if you think that

I don't believe he loves his job as much as people believe, that's what even more sad.

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 You don't believe.. how the f--k would you know anything about that?

Yea sure but the question here is does he deserve a 5% share of the paddock (1/20) when there F2 champions like Theo, Bearman etc who are definitely more talented than him?

it is fair to judge him since i have to look at this guy during a race ruining and criticizing the work of reallly talented people just because his father is rich. he's the only paid driver to act like this

​@@user-mf6vs8vb1o Lol people being rich is literally the only reason F1 exists.

Nah he deserves Lewis seat

I disagree, he's not the best but worthy of the sport. There are drivers on the grid not showing anything either and we've seen worse before. Also many of the drivers on grid come from money. Stroll just gets unjustified hate is all.

You envy his bloodline, WTF?

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 You're shocked what a weirdo with charles darwin nickname said?

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 You don't wish your dad was rich? That's what he said.

All nepotism babies = bad

@@iPuls3 We wish that no dad's were richer than they need to be

Haha first one to recognize it 👀

Except he's possibly pushing his son to keep doing this despite the passion isn't there. Btw, F1 Is motorpsort's pinnacle, not some backyard race, nepotism shouldn't be allowed.

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 don't have to tell me, been watching F1 for 50 years. and thats just speculation, you don't know how Lance feels.

​@@quentinhirschfeld9382"F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport" and other funny jokes you can tell yourself

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 Hasn't been the best motorsport has to offer for a while

@@Ramonatho its true tho?

With this kind of logic, Taki Inoue deserved his seat.

@@quentinhirschfeld9382Did you really understand my point?

What if we received the same amount of training, support, and practice that he had on his come up. Then, I think then you could make an argument that a majority of us would be better. That's the argument for current junior drivers to take his seat.

I always wonder how much talent might be walking around but never got the opportunities of these drivers as kids because they werent born into familys with deep pockets. Pay driver or not. Karting as a kid is probably the most expensive sport you could have a kid play.

@@andyleal7132 I totally get that point. But I know there have been plenty of rich kids, who, no matter how much training you give them, still couldn’t keep an F1 car on a track for quarter of a lap.

Hopefully whoever F2 champ few Next year have F1 seats

Those teams all deserved to sink though. If you suck, you should lose, simple as.

Everyone expects him to overperform like Alonso does. But he's doing everything the team asks him to do.

The F4 title was a scummy though

Doesn't mean anything, Montero got a podium in F1 yet he was on average slower than frickin Kartykhean, aka the guy who was 1 second slower than a 42 years old De La Rosa in qualifying!

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 One podium yes, but 3 + Pole position.... cmon

And he got there by his good junior performance

Maybe so, but giving your child everything they've ever wanted is poor parenting because it does not teach correct values and respect for those less fortunate. We have all met one or more of those 'entitled' people at some point. The AM board will continue to accept Stroll Jnr crashing one of their F1 cars as long as Daddy owns 20% of the company and is happy to pick uo the tab.

I just hope daddy Stroll gets into some financial troubles where he has to sell the team. I feel like this is the only way Lancelot will finally leave F1. There are plenty of drivers who are actually deserving of a seat in F1 more than this punchable face.

Hey, the kiddo is happy getting to try at his dreams (and it honestly probably isn't insanely much money on dad)

1 pole doesn't justify 7 years of mediocrity, after his 2017 and even 2018 season i was keen on letting him establish himself, he failed so.

​@quentinhirschfeld9382 I don't understand all these clowns defending a shitty paid driver. One pole and a few podiums are not impressive.

@@MooncricketsInc I don't think you understand how few drivers has ever gotten either to make a statement like that.

He was Italian F4 champion in 2014, Toyota Racing Series champion in 2015, and 2016 FIA European Formula 3 champion. WHAT TEAM DO YOU DRIVE FOR AND WHAT CHAMPIONSHIPS HAVE YOU WON

Correct, money can buy you things others can't afford.. that gives you a better chance.. where a quality person can use what they have around them with skill they have ....

he's able to keep up with the grid, he's good enough and we've seen worse than him. get a life

Delusional

Stroll is that mid level talent that that uses his dads credit card to buy all the cheats and hacks. But in tournaments with anti cheats aka real drivers like Fernando Alonso you see how absolutely outclassed daddy’s boy really is.

Mate bottas is a million times better than stroll

Bottas didn't win the championship because he's not as good as Lewis, simple as that.

@@zarekbhalla123 won more races than Palmer and a lot of current f1 drivers and a few fastest laps, track records and so and in a few races, he beat Lewis's head-on.

They're always team orders it's just how racing works. Using it against him is stupid. Also the team orders didn't work very well, his teammates won 8 races that year with Lance placing 2nd/3rd to them a few times.

Also the creator is comparing stroll to one of the greatest f1 drivers of all time. Fernado almost won a WDC in the F2012

@@Niggaihate Which was a far better car than most people believe. On average, it was the 2nd-3rd fastest car in race trim and the midfield was INCREDIBLY tight that season, you even had on occasions teams like Lotus, Force India or Suaber challenging for race wins It was also super reliable, while Vettel and Hamilton both lost respectively something like 40 or 50 points and 70 points due to no fault of their own. Btw, Alonso isn't in his prime anymore, Ocon was incredibly close to him pace wise.

'He's not qualifying P20' He actually did on multiple occasions last year, like Monza, while Alonso comfortably got into Q3. H'e snot a solid midfield driver, a solid midfield driver doesn't score 75 points with a car that was good enough for podiums for most of the year. He's also dangerous, poor awareness.

Solid midfield driver LOL. What are you smoking? The only driver worse than him is Sargeant, Zhou, and probably Ricciardo. The rest of the grid is far more talented than him and its not even close. If he was any better, Aston would have been 4th in the constructors, and considering how bad Mclaren was at the start, its pathetic.

@@jimmystoney8029 Its not Lance's fault that Mclaren got better. He's very much on level with the rest of the grid.

2019-2020 season: Pérez 174 points Stroll 97 points 2021-2022 season: Vettel 80 points Stroll 62 points 2023 season: Alonso 205 points Stroll 75 points Dare say he's been in F1 for this long thanks to his performances after that.

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 2021 2022 stroll is ahead of vettel in the races VS. 2020 stroll had more dnff+Dns that any other drivers in that field. And through no fault of his aside of portimao. Points doesn't tell the whole story

😊​@@quentinhirschfeld93822.😢 x7 ze

He is though lmaooooooo

F2 and F3 are feeder series, Indycar is it's own fully developed series so of course a fully fledged series will have better drivers than the literal kids driving in F3 and F2.

​​​@@_Tp___ yeah but have you seen how F1 dorks keep pretending their feeder series is the only thing that counts, you can get your Superlicence QUICKER from F2 then Indycar, THATS A JOKE... and in WEC and IMSA, I CAN MAKE THE SAME ARGUMENT, my point, im getting sick and tired of the monopolizing F1 does with not allowing drivers with better records & more wins then the Europeans need they promote.

@@_Tp___it’s true you’re acting like there’s no dev program and Logan Sargent isn’t the best American driver, just the lucky one to represent. There’s absolutely an American bias in F1.

@@THExAndrewxO if they want to get into F1 then they should drive in F2 or actually try and get into F1, instead of driving in a completely different championship. F1 teams look at the people who are developing underneath them, not trying to pinch drivers from Indycar. Clearly most are happy in driving in other motorsport series.

​​​@_Tp___ simply put, IF IT WASN'T FOR AMERICAN MONEY, AMERICAN COMPANIES ARE ALL OVER F1, F1 WOULD BE BANKRUPT, AMERICAN DRIVERS DONT HAVE TO BE IN F2, JUST TO QUALIFY FOR F1 IS A CROCK OF SHIT, and F1 has already been warned, the Google guys and Android reps have told McLaren they are pulling out if they don't see changes, they want an American driver on the team.... the Pato Oward thing and flirting with Colton Herta wasn't just a thing that came out of nowhere.

I'm surprised as well and I'm glad the community isn't willing to support anyone producing hate content.

@@benfrese3573 rofl. so now an opinion backed by arguments that doesn't align with your views is hate by default? simping on a rich kid that obviously should've been dropped from the grid since at least 4 years is what then?

He's the Balotelli of F1. All that talent is pointless with just flashes of brilliance. Even Balotelli didn't need his dad to reach the heights he had.

People justifying nepotism...

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 I don't think you understand what nepotism means. It's like hiring a son into family business, how is that nepotism?

@@MyRealName That's literally the definition of nepotism. Not hiring the most qualified but just hiring a family member or someone close to you as a favor. Be it monarchies with inbred princes, or incompetent sons getting a job for free while everyone else has to work hard for it, nepotism always sucks, but it's a core feature of capitalism.
