How Williams's rookie shut out his critics

By:

Is he just a rich rookie or a superstar-in-training? JAMES ROBERTS puts F1 RACING's readers' questions to attempt to get under the skin of the Williams young gun, Lance Stroll

At the top of the three-storey Williams is a rooftop terrace that overlooks the paddock. This is where team guests and VIPs mingle with a cocktail and gossip about the latest goings-on in the soap opera world of Formula 1.

Monza is the motorhome's last destination this year, before it reappears in the Barcelona paddock next May. On this sun-blessed Italian afternoon, a handful of guests are lolling in one corner. In another is the team's celebrated chef, Michael Caines, tapping busily away at a laptop.
