It may not be the best ranking to be put on top of but Lance Stroll has been named as the “greatest pay driver of all time”.
Peter Windsor has dismissed any suggestion the younger Stroll is under threat of losing his seat at his dad’s F1 team.
“You could argue that Lance Stroll is the greatest pay driver of all time because, yes, he’s there because his dad is paying all the bills, but at least his dad has gone out and created a new team out of an old one, Aston Martin.
“The payment for Lance to be in Formula 1 has been a very constructive thing and it’s given a lot of jobs to a lot of people and it’s a whole new thing, so in that sense you’ve got to say: ‘Wow, that’s the perfect use of being a pay driver – and he’s got a reasonable amount of talent as well.’”
