Great response...I'll give a little push back on 2 points. Ocon has done pretty well in the lesser formulae and is getting stronger. Stroll is a multiple podium winner and is pretty damn good in the rain.

On RBR...they have an organizational problem and it's reflected in their points scored for the Constructors Championship. HAM has more points than their entire team. I believe that it is because that they have gone in such a radical direction on car development. Of course one must develop the car in a direction to best fit the fastest driver but they now have 2 drivers, with GAS being redeemed by this season, that say the car is, "challenging". Maybe they should tone back the dev towards the center and reap more points rather than giving VER carte blanche on the direction the car is developed. They need a better balance between one lap pace and race pace.
