Who's to say that papa stroll isn't forcing him to race?
Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't get paid for his ride and the budget is blown for alonso
I do very much get the impression Lance is pressured by his Dad to keep racing. I can't imagine that Lance is being compromised for Nando though. Lawrence's dream has always been for his son to be WDC, so I imagine Lance's car is on-parity with Nando's.
I can't imagine he gets paid nothing. I've always presumed he gets a nominal salary. Regardless, Lance is going to always be unfathomably wealthy unless his Dad cuts him off completely, which I presume wouldn't happen. Even if he was cut off, Lance now has the experience and the contacts to make a large amount of money independent of his Dad.
