It's a troubled time for Stoffel Vandoorne, with a cloud of uncertainty hovering over the Belgian's F1 future.
On the one hand, there's no doubting the 26-year-old's talent when one remembers his very successful formative years in the sport. On the other, Stoffel has underperformed at McLaren relative to Fernando Alonso, although most would agree that going up against the Spaniard is a challenge many drivers would lose.
Our take? We still believe his potential is intact, but perhaps a salutatory change of scenery is in order.
In the interim, Vandoorne was the recipient of a new pair of racing boots for this weekend's Italian Grand Prix. And the right sole is loaded with lead… Go Stoffel!
