Good article on Stroll's somewhat controversial signing with Williams.

There are rumours his billionaire dad is paying Williams upwards of $35 million for his son to drive there and spent another $70m-$80m of his own money to fund special development and research specifically for Lance, including having his own private sim that Massa and Bottas haven't been allowed to use and actually making his own custom fitted 2015 Williams car to simulate the 2017 cars for Lance to train in.

Anyway, I don't care, he's canadian. Money talks when it comes to constructors and they get huge advantages over the smaller teams, why shouldn't this kid get better chances because his dad is rich? And if the kid wasn't good, it wouldn't matter how rich his dad was because you can't buy a seat in F1 if you flat out suck.
