    The combination of snow, the newly painted white road and a large field of polar bears made the picture unviewable

  3. Just how Stroll got his seat, you need to pay to see the picture.

  4. Lance was disappointed at the visibility of the grandstand his father promised.

    (no picture @keithcollantine)

    1. @kartguy07 apologies – technical glitch, fixed now

  5. Looks like the picture has failed to qualify!

    1. @nullapax it’s been granted special permission to start the race after some technical difficulties in Q1

  6. Stroll: Look at all my fans!

    1. Beat me to it. Dang it, @aapje :)

  7. ‘Here’s everyone who thought I deserved my seat in F1’

  8. Daddy has already paid all figurants who will sit there on Sunday.

  9. “Dad … I’m so proud of you! All these seats will be filled with employees chanting your name”.

  10. Look what daddy just bough me!

    1. *bought

  11. There are loads of people who know I’m here on pure merit

  12. Note from Lawrence Stroll to his secretary: Please tell Liberty Media that the white paint used on the red and white contoured curbs of the Canadian Grand Prix race track is slightly less white than the exclusive and patented white colouring used on Lance Stroll’s Michael Kors Exclusive sports shoes, so the distinctive styling of the shoes fails to stand out. Can you ask them to repaint the white parts of the track slightly darker so Lance’s shoes stand out more distinctly?

  13. Stroll shows off the support from his home crowd

  14. The Stroll grandstand, suitably located at the slowest section of the circuit

    1. He have a clear winner here :))

    2. Fantastic

    Stroll: Now this is grandstanding!
    Vettel: Hold my beer

  16. Wow,this grandstand is almost as big as my head :)

  17. I mean…you are not likely to get much variety in the spirit of the proposed captions in this case, Keith. Your bait is fat and juicy, and based on the comments so far, no fish in the water seems likely to resist the temptation.

    1. Worst caption ever

      1. @philipgb Maybe, but almost everyone has gone for the lowest hanging fruit. What sort of competition is this?! 😂

        1. “lowest hanging fruit”
          thats what she said

        2. @neutronstar Bwaaha ha……Lol.
          There is no other “fruit” to be had with this particular caption comp ;)

      2. @philipgb
        If there were a meta-caption competition, you’d have my vote.

  18. For my next birthday daddy promised spectators too!

    Lance to Chico…Take one of those photos that looks like I’m holding up my new grandstand. Chico…OK no problem ;-)

  20. Lance doesn’t take handouts from his Dad. But he did kindly re-create his pose used to represent him, with hands out, on his personal grandstand.

  21. While doing is track walk, Lance was caught practising spinning on the kerbs.

    No one elected to sit in the Lance Stroll grandstand when they discovered it was $20m per seat.

  56. Stroll’s fan-stand was for actual fans to sit in during the race, as opposed to the virtual fans on twitter or whatever the other drivers liked boasting about
