What was he like in the junior racing leagues?Last place in P2 for Stoffel... As much as the McLaren sucks, I was really hoping he could at least keep up with Fernando. But he's really been nowhere all season long... Pity.

I just wanted to add this, Stoffle was THE **** in GP2, his championship season was insane, as this Sky article points out.What was he like in the junior racing leagues?
You make it sound like it was just a run-of-the-mill, every day garden-variety practice session for old Stoffel.Again race is all you should gleam performance from and quali. Practice is just that, and since it's P2 they could have him on an economy run, long run, or just trying to figure out set up.
He sounds pretty desperate to me.Stoffel VandoorneThe worst Friday of my career.
We don't understand how to get the car to work. We have to find a solution.
It's impossible, the gap to Alonso is six tenths. I was last by far. We can see we've got big problems but we don't know how to get the car in a normal condition.

I personally don't think he was that good in his junior career. He was McLaren's second choice, younger Magnussen beat him in 3.5 then he got beaten by Palmer in GP2. The drivers who tend to stick around in F1 for a long time tend to win GP2 against strong competition on their very first attempt. He has plenty of comments from the team that he needs to improve his driving and has shown constantly mediocre performances which is not good if he needs to find another team.I just wanted to add this, Stoffle was THE **** in GP2, his championship season was insane, as this Sky article points out.
I'm not sure why he's struggling with the Mclaren this year, he seemed to be keeping his head above water last season, but he's been way-off Alonso in 2018. I'm beginning to think this is more to do with Alonso's performances than Stoffle's and perhaps Alonso's extra-curricula activities are motivating him just that little bit more than pure F1 back-marker.
I don't think he has heard about Fernando's legendary 6 tenths.He sounds pretty desperate to me.
Hamilton pushing his own car with gearbox issues.
He's not allowed to do that but screw it it looks good for the TV right? Hamilton is such a sore loser
I believe he would have tried to push that all the way. Self-inflicted, possibly... unless all those wide entries were gearbox related in themselves.
He’s done it before and Alonso did it in 2015...I'd do the same in his position and I bet you would too.
Not if I knew it was illegal. Toto gave him a radio message to stop and he did.I'd do the same in his position and I bet you would too.
