I dont think many people are judging Stroll because of the car, but because of his performance relative to Perez.
Well I do think the car is a factor in how that plays out. Stroll finally has a car thats stable and can take his erratic driving style. He is pretty rough on that steering wheel. In rb16 his style wouldnt have worked, he had gone off. Perez is the opposite. His smoothness doesnt really seem to benefit him in the RP. Thats probably also why he did so bad in Styria qualifying, he couldnt get heat into the tyres.

So which car you compare a pair of driver in will definitly effect the outcome. And I think its flattering Lance. But none the less he is doing a good job.

I think if Lance was as bad as he was made out to be, he wouldnt be quicker than Perez in the wet.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Perez is weak in the wet, slow and makes alot more mistakes than he should. Probably the worst part of his skillset.

Nope. 22 Air, 37 Track - if anything it's gotten cooler since the start of qualifying.

Let's see how they manage their tyres during the race like that.
According to Charles, not well from the race runs. That said, seemed a bit better with lower heat.

Also, as bad as the gap to Mercedes is, the Ferrari in Leclerc’s hands is looking better than I expected, at least on one lap pace.

22 so still relatively cool.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Cracking lap. Purple sector passing Hamilton's off so will it stand? I assume there were yellow flags/lights.

Lets see if Stewards apply the same rule they did in Austria, bearing in mind we might not know an answer until Sunday afternoon #-o

Sky are making such a huge deal of Hamilton struggling to qualify on Mediums when his team mate is 2.3 sec clear of P11. It’s not exactly touch and go.

Relatively speaking, awesome lap from Le clerc on mediums - all but matching Max.
