I mean that feels unnecessary. This is a person who is clearly very upset and seems to be having a tough time at the minute. maybe it's not helpful for people to pile on.
I have to disagree. The man's issue is that he refuses to relinquish this position that he's clearly not qualified for or deserving of. He doesn't get to be upset at the scrutiny when he has never had to play by the same rules as any of the other nineteen drivers on the grid. Furthermore, his mechanics have had an entire season of putting up with his nonsense, whilst the other half of the garage have had to work less and celebrate more.
It's a shit situation for Lance. I don't like to see another human being hurting. The solution, however, is to be grateful for the years in Formula One he's had, and go have a no-doubt successful career in Endurance, DTM, IndyCar, GT racing or Formula E.
Who's to say that papa stroll isn't forcing him to race?
Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't get paid for his ride and the budget is blown for alonso
I do very much get the impression Lance is pressured by his Dad to keep racing. I can't imagine that Lance is being compromised for Nando though. Lawrence's dream has always been for his son to be WDC, so I imagine Lance's car is on-parity with Nando's.
I can't imagine he gets paid nothing. I've always presumed he gets a nominal salary. Regardless, Lance is going to always be unfathomably wealthy unless his Dad cuts him off completely, which I presume wouldn't happen. Even if he was cut off, Lance now has the experience and the contacts to make a large amount of money independent of his Dad.
