Lance Stroll has endured a tough rookie season so far with Williams. The Canadian has had 4 DNF’s so far, with his highest finishing position eleventh. However, three-time world champion Jackie Steward has urged fans not to judge Stroll on this season and to wait for him to progress.
He has also suggested that perhaps people are expecting Stroll to live up to his fellow Canadians Gilles and Jacques Villeneuve: "I think, like many others, we will have to wait at least a year before we assess him," the Scot said. "I have not been surprised by his difficulties, in fact.”
"F1 is the pinnacle of motor racing and it takes time before you can compete against the best in the discipline. But he has proven he has the talent to succeed. He's in a good environment, a good team with Williams who have developed great drivers in the past."
"Canada wants another Villeneuve, but you were spoiled with Gilles, who in my opinion was the most reckless driver in the history of formula one, but also one of the most brilliant," he added. "And his son Jacques was able to take over in a remarkable way."

Wait a year,2,4,6,8.. makes no difference, he'll still be vastly out of his depth and a $$££ driver only. Cash cow for Williams.
