Why? As far as I know Stroll senior wants a mentor for his son, a man who will guide him in some way. When Petrov was Robert's team partner he said that it's hard to get some knowledge directly from Robert but just listening to him during debriefings with engineers was great and now I see Kubica is more opened to people so Lance will have a great opportunity to learn a lot. And RK is strong character - as a father of three - I would love to see my kids meet that kind of mentors on their way.
Because they are "afraid" Kubica will be faster and better than Stroll.Greg_OR wrote: ↑19 Oct 2017, 00:05Why?

I don't think Stroll senior to be that naive - Lance is a talented youngster but has a lot to learn, and a lot to prove to became WDC contender.
These are stupid rumours as it was almost impossible because of logistics and, as we see, Williams just tested Robert without any help.Also Daddy Stroll denied Kubica to test after his son in a private test: https://www.pitpass.com/60194/Kubica-denied-Suzuka-test

another (for once positive) article about Kubica´s Renault test on Hungaroring - engineer Ricardo Penteado (maybe Brazilian?) from Renault has revealed something about Kubica´s performance and abilities to Brazil's Globo TV station:
1. his physical condition is certainly good (drove 142 laps in one day !)
2. was able to make any changes on the steering wheel without difficulty while driwing !!
3. he never drove with little fuel load in the tank (so, he was not slow !)
4. he reportedly gave the team a great feedback (said sports-director Alan Permane)
Spicy about the whole thing is that Penteado provided these informations just for Brazil's Globo TV station.
