I’m very surprised to see him compared to Stroll. I think he’s doing a pretty good job all things considered.

0 podiums 0 wins. That’s not good.

Podiums and wins? In a Haas? You’re kidding or trolling 😂

I think you’re forgetting he hasn’t always driven for Haas. He’s been in competitive cars before and still couldn’t produce. Force India, Renault.

I’d say he has an incredible talent to join teams when they’re in an uncompetitive slump.

FI and Renault during his tenure were mid-tier at best.

Yeah because elite teams don’t want him.

But it’s not always a meritocracy. Teams might choose drivers for money, sponsors, marketability, stuff like that.

This further proves why Hulk doesn’t deserve a spot.

In fairness, Mercedes wanted him to replace Rosberg but he’d just signed with another team, Renault maybe.
