#4 Battle of the Rookies - will Lance Stroll have a better outing?

Antonio Giovinazzi
Antonio Giovinazzi had a strong debut race in Melbourne

Stoffel Vandoorne, Antonio Giovinazzi and Lance Stroll are three rookies in this year’s Formula 1 season with varying degrees of talent, experience and financial backing. The new cars are monsters to drive and it has been widely accepted that this new era of Formula 1 will separate the men from the boys.

Of the three, Stroll has had a pretty horrid time of it in Formula 1 so far as he’s been consistently off the pace and has binned the car more than once. The internet is unforgiving and some wise hats have now created a website to keep count of the number of times Stroll has crashed.

Giovinazzi drove a stellar race, finishing just ahead of fellow rookie Stoffel Vandoorne with just one practice session and qualifying to acquaint himself with Formula 1, drawing praise from team boss Monisha Kaltenborn and several pundits.
