With someone like Mr Stroll, only a select few will have any direct input, everyone else will just be passengers along for the ride while he does the driving

One of my favourite car projects was a Mr Stroll project, we were tasked with helping Lance win enough super license points to be able to race in F1. Stakes were high because if we failed Williams F1 probably would have collapsed as Mr Stroll would have no reason to invest in the team
A small group of ex-F1 engineers including myself, did just that, we attacked the European F3 Championship, Lance got his F1 points, Williams survived to fight on and we broke the F3 championship

Very proud of those results as finding ways to add performance to a car in a heavily homologated formula is extremely difficult, also feel slightly guilty that faster drivers were made to look slower so missed out on their shot of getting into F1
