I'm watching Rifftrax short on the Roku Rifftrax App. I hit the RAND button, so I don't know how long I'll be watch shorts.
Tangentially, loosely related, by DNA, OS is watching Formula One Movie on Apple TV. This is what he said.

He knew I would laugh at the comment about Lance Stroll. Lance does not place as high as 10th very often. Six out of twenty-three races this last year he placed in the top 10, 6th being the highest place.
Lance is the teammate of Fernando Alonso who generally finishes in the top ten. Lance generally finishes in the bottom ten. I use to be a little harsh with Lance, but I've stopped doing that. Fernando is an exceptional driver. It's probably like Max Verstappen and his teammates. They are all excellent drivers, fast drivers, but Max very nearly always qualifies in the top ten, more often the top four. His teammates tend to qualify in the bottom 10. Alex Albon has a video where he describes what happens as Max's teammate. It pretty much what all of his teammates have said. Alex Albon is a great driver. I liked hime and Lando Norris right away. I initially liked Max, not because he is an exceptional driver, but because he had acne, and reminded me of OS when he was 17. Max was 17 when he started driving F1. Anyway, Alex did really well keeping up with Max. Most drivers do. Sergio Perez was probably the closest driver.
ALEX ALBON: The Truth About Being Max Verstappen's Teammates Max has had six teammates. Some get switched out mid season. The teams want both drivers to be competitive because the teams get more points, and the more points they get, the more money they get at the end of the session.
So why doesn't Lance get let go or repurposed like Max's teammates? Because Lance's dad owns the Formula One team. He literally bought the team so his son was guaranteed a drive.
