Analysis: Stroll on top
The woes at Williams are so intense that asking who is top of the team mates at Grove is rather like asking who deserves the marginally bigger wooden spoon. In his second year with the team, Lance Stroll wins by default having finished in the points in Baku - a venue where he was on the podium the year before, remember. Poor Sergey Sirotkin has yet to finish in the top ten, making him the only driver yet to score a championship point in 2018 which is a fatal flaw in his performance to date. Even so, the Russian rookie has actually out-qualified his team mate on more occasions than not, and their race performances are also pretty comparable. It's a shame Sirotkin is proving to be the invisible man, with avid Robert Kubica fans still looking longingly at the Pole as the true heir to the Williams race seat.
