Think a double podium might be a bit too ambitious for Aston Martin given Mercs' improved pace. But it's likely going to be a wet race so who knows!

Well you have to have goals otherwise what's the point? but I don't see Stroll on the podium though unless something crazy happens

I hoping that the encouragement Lance is getting from his 2nd dad helps him progress. I've been a fan of Stroll for a while, since he has shown a few times that he's not JUST a pay driver on daddy's money, but has some raw talent to back up his place in the championship. Not that I believe he could be a front runner, but I could see him touching the top 5 in the points consistently with the car he's currently in if he could just find the pace he has shown in worse cars.

Completely agree, I think that there really is some potential in stroll - not quite WDC material, but a very solid midfielder with potential for a podium given the right car.

A wet race? In Canada? Someone get Jenson into a car.

I think that for this to happen, Stroll isn‘t consistent enough. Having a goal like this and trying to achieve it isn‘t necessarily wrong though.
