It will be very interesting to see how they get on. Stroll showed flashes of brilliance, but also moments of immaturity last season.

 

Great to see Kubica brought on as a reserve driver. Not the role he would have wanted, but gives him a lifeline back to F1.

Too bad they have to use pay drivers. I would have liked to see Alonso move over to them. My guess is they need the money to stay alive. Hopefully Kubica can help develop the car for them. Fingers crossed!

+1 on Stroll, I want him to be more than "daddy bought me this seat", especially because he's Canadian!

 

exactly although Williams do produce world champs from the 2nd gen drivers; Villeneuve and Hill come to mind,

On the doc front, apparently there will be an Amazon Prime doc on McLaren's 2017 season coming out that is billed as having an unprecedented level of access to the inner workings of the team, including Zak Brown's efforts to find title sponsorship.

...as an aside, there is a fantastic documentary on Netflix about the family & history of Williams Racing. Incredible insights into the world of F1 and Frank's journey...
