F1 Grand Prix of Belgium - Previews
Stoffel Vandoorne has had a terrible season this year in his McLaren Renault MCL33

Stoffel Vandoorne is in his 2nd season as a full-time F1 driver, after replacing Former Champion, Jenson Button in 2017. He was expected to be one of the future champions, along with the likes of Max Verstappen, Pierre Gasly, and Charles Leclerc, but he has had a really frustrating season this year with McLaren Renault. He has been consistently beaten by his teammate, Fernando Alonso, and has collected just 8 points until the F1 summer break.

Having a champion teammate like Alonso never helped Stoffel's cause as he has been overshadowed in almost every race and every qualifying session. Since Eric Boullier stepped down as Team Director, there have been major changes to the administration, and with an under-performing Stoffel in the team, they may well look beyond him next year. Lando Norris, another driver from the McLaren Young Driver Programme, is a regarded as one of the best young drivers right now, and he definitely deserves a seat next year in Formula 1.
