I’m no Stroll apologist but I have to award him points for his response to this pretty poor line of questioning.

[@marielfernandez2190]

Yeah.

[@senminatorobama1461]

That’s just what you get with viaplay

[@fardmee6499]

Same here. First time I saw him did something worthy.

[@daarom3472]

Viaplay is terrible. Before in the Netherlands the rights were owned by Ziggo (subsidiary of Vodafone) and you got it as part of a sports package. Viaplay bought the rights and forces people to buy their entire streaming service. Many have moved to F1 TV now and many others will follow.

[@PiotrekSzostak]

@@daarom3472 it used to be Eleven Sports showing F1 on TV in Poland but lately we've been seeing an aggressive campaign by viaplay as well. Thing is though, they're stuck in Bernie era of huge television contracts that passed almost 15 years ago. F1TV is lightyears ahead, there's no going back and you really have to be thick to not understand the success of streaming

A better question would have been: do you think you had enough in the bag to keep Alonso behind in case he attempted an overtake? Question was legit but the way he phrased it was poor. Anyway, drivers are highly paid professionals, they know how to deal with this stuff, it's just another part of their job.

VIaplay has absolutely NO fucking place in Formula 1. I don't know about other counties, but at least in The Netherlands they have been sucking ALL joy out of the sport and the insane amount of entitlement and 'poshness' coming from them is evident. I switched over to the F1TV commentary after giving at maybe 10 minutes before I couldn't even stand the commentator and his lack of energy and precision. Olav Mol and Ziggo have had some big flaws, but at least they are full of energy, passion and excitement. Especially at the ending, what was that?? She says "Ah, the little beam of sunray he is, as always". What would you expect after such an unbelievable shit question? This wasn't even a "intense moment". This was just Lance Stroll being "uhm.... okay?" for a full minute and rightfully so. The cringe is off the charts, but not due to Lance.

I am from Holland and this is a Dutch interviewer. The interviewer does this a lot and it's quite annoying. There have been plenty of times where he asks weird/stupid out of line questions and he's already making a name for himself out in the paddock. I don't think he will last beyond this year honestly.

[@exeuropean]

[@Hani_Santa]

This is typical dutch interviewing. I like how straight forward we are, but it's a balance act, unfortunately our media in sport is also negative and pessimistic often. If a dutch athlete fails, they have to feel guilty to the entire nation, no kidding. Instead of support, journalists will chop your head off. It would be nice if dutch reporters learn to have at least some respect, this is embarassing.

[@Thunterise]

This is shit for Dutch standards too. The interviewer's only goal was getting a reaction out of Lance. The Dutch may be more direct, but that's not the same as being rude, even though a lot of people (inlcuding the Dutch) seem to think that it is.

[@Firemarioflower]

Ziggo sucked. Viaplay is just 1000 times worse

[@andymoss4285]

The team got the same points no matter which way they finished the race. There was absolutely no way with What, 8 laps? That Alonso could catch the next car. He’d have to be 2s per lap faster, and have to fight his team mate for position, which could jeopardise his tyres, or even result in one or both going out the race. What would have been more interesting is for Alonso to get drs, swap positions, then Lance get drs swap positions, and get an Aston Martin drs party on the go to try to get fastest lap

[@Zuwze]

"have to fight his team mate for position" I think the point was that they should've swapped position because Alonso was higher in the championship, as in; "Why didn't you let Alonso past when he is higher in the standings?"

[@benwilliams5760]
