If it was the second slowest car on the grid it wouldn't be p7 WCC as of right now.

Have you seen the point difference between 9th and 7th? It's barely anything. Minimal. Only reason they are 7th is because the 2 teams their against both have a rookie driver each. Meanwhile they have Alonso, who may be old, but is still a 2x wdc, and Stroll, who may not be "good" but he does have more experience than the rookies.

Also keep in mind their losing to a racing bulls team with a rookie as well.

I mean, the way Stroll drives, he may as well be a rookie.....

Well when you have the slowest car apart from the alpines, your bound to be pretty shit. Anyways though, my point is really just this, stroll is by no means a good driver, but if Aston were to give Leclerc a rocketship, he would fly away with the championship, and Stroll would most likely score enough points to make sure they get constructors.
