Lawrence Stroll has to be one of the few men on Earth that could make the Aston Martin name and brand easy to root against.... Hope the Williams name doesn't disappear but they sure could use the backing of a major manufacturer, even if it diminishes their independent heritage.

They kind of remind me of Everton when I started following them, Aussie on board, rich history but not an elite team at the present - potential is there though.

Jealous, must've been late seventies when I went to their old place. For some reason they had an off-road track set up for ATVs and I managed to break one on my first corner, rear suspension completely collapsed on one side; was a mechanical and not my fault though so jumped into the spare car (after sprinting back to the pits, natch).

Wow, my life is boring now. But the Blues need me!! My brother worked for BA, along with long spells "leant" to Airbus, for decades; he got to the Singapore GP one year when he was living/working there. He had a brilliant career that took him all over the world, but turned on an incedible stoke of luck. He was living in Guildford (with two o-levels to his name) in a pretty much dead end job in his early twenties, but then had some mental health problems that led to him moving in with my parents in Somerset. After he got some help he took a job through an agency as a grunt in the stores department of BA in Filton; then one lunch break he was sat down and he was reading the Guardian, big boss walks through, sees what he's reading and says, "I think we can find something better for you to do.." and it went from there. Crazy fall of the cards. Other twist was that he met his wife there, they both worked in the Brabazon hangar, named after John Moore-Brabazon, early aviator....and the man who gave the eulogy at my great grandfather's funeral.

Totally agree that he's a future World Champion and it's just a shame that Mercedes have shit the bed so that he can't fight Leclerc and Max this season.
