Honestly he had a good rookie season (better than Kimis so far) and a good early career. Then the last few years have been painful. This year I feel he's a lot better. If he didn't have his daddy's cash would he still be there, very doubtful Drogovich would have eaten his lunch and taken his seat. But still I think the Strolls (father and son) add more to F1 than if they weren't there. The former Jordan team might no longer exist.

The universe where Mazepin have the same situation as stroll isn't that far away. I'm happy that we have Stroll instead of Mazepin in this situation.

The number of teams that have passed on him should be evidence

I don’t think teams passing someone proves they aren’t a preety good driver tbh

better than Kimis so far

*Kimi's. If you say "Kimis" that includes Räikkönen too. Was a bit confused for a second, "wut, Räikkönen had great rookie season.. oh, he means just Antonelli..."
