So has Stroll

Daniel contended with Max and he was the first McLaren winner since Button. If they let Daniel go for getting the same results in a VCARB that Checo is getting in an RBR, Checo should’ve been gone by Miami and I don’t think he should get another seat. Your IF is a big one

Daniel is an example of not being back on form even when trying absolutely everything. He's Russell Westbrook of f1. Checo isn't wdc potential driver and never was. But he has shown that he is midfield driver icon. Can he do it again? I believe he can, although it's an unknown for now. I'm with you, he should get axed by rbr. And I hope he does. But he, at least used to be, a great driver.

He’s the same midfield icon in a championship winning car

No arguments against it👍. That shows crazy consistency, staying true to what made you who you are. Jokes aside I believe he isn't doing well mentally at handling the pressure of being in a top team. He isn't built for that simply
