Statistics Numbers Don’t Lie

A quick breakdown of how Lance has stacked up (or fallen down) against his teammates.

Stroll versus all teammates (teammates-Stroll):
(Bear in mind, this is only results from the 167 races in which he’s competed)
Total points: 582-287
Podiums: 10-3
Points finishes: 90-60
DNF/DNS/DSQ: 19-30

The only season where he finished above his teammate was 2018, when he beat Sirotkin (ha) by 5 points. Here’s the percentages for all the other years:

2017: 93% (Massa, Williams)
2019: 40% (Perez, RP)
2020: 60% (Perez, RP)
2021: 79% (Vettel, AM)
2022: 48% (Vettel, AM)
2023: 35% (Alonso, AM)
2024: 34% (Alonso, AM)
Total, 2017-2024: 49%

The numbers don’t lie. Lance has scored less than half of the points his teammates have, with 50% more DNFs.

If Aston Martin wants to ever have a shot at the WCC, Lance needs to go. He’s had 8 years to prove himself, yet he still drives and acts like a rookie.

For the Lance circlejerk crowd, here’s your hero’s dumbest moments.

They may nor may not win the championship with Lance, but they sure as heck won't without The Strolls.

And Lance is fast. 17-7 (plus 3-3 in sprints) favouring Alonso is not too bad. It's a team sport anyway, so build the fastest car and the wins will come.

So I agree with you that he is fast and with F1 being a team sport, but when you regularly make bad mistakes that a rookie wouldn’t regularly make, it looks bad for him. Also, saying that the wins will come if we build the fastest car isn’t true if you can’t drive it properly. Checo is a great example of this.

Checo was 2nd in 2023. Red Bull didn't build the fastest car this year though.
