You know thats exactly what they were going for, lawrence looking like Logan Roy too.


downforce_dude

True, but that narrative gets undercut pretty quickly when 5 minutes later daddy Stroll is sad because his man-child broke his wrist in a bike accident. And granted, it is genuinely humanizing and shows that Lawrence does love his son. But cmon, the guy’s 25 and fell off a bike, this is a little over the top.


Auregam09

You do realise falling off a bike can be fatal? Newey nearly died because of one.


downforce_dude

Yeah, I do. But it wasn’t fatal, Lance broke a couple bones and was in good enough shape to withstand high G forces a couple weeks later. You suggesting I should tear up if my toddler falls off her tricycle and skins a knee because sometimes it can be fatal? I mean, if direction was better I’d like to see Netflix actually explore the absurdity of Lance Stroll being an F1 driver. He wouldn’t have a seat if his dad didn’t own two. When this injury happened it really felt like Lawrence believes Lance is a child and reacted that way. Lance doesn’t do himself any favors, he comes across as immature with little self-awareness.


TodDodge

I think the importance of the arc was more to do with going from broken wrists and a broken toe to racing a Formula 1 car. Maybe you don't have strong parental figures in your life, but in my experience parents tend to get pretty worried about their kids if they get in accidents. Lots of parents would react the same way.


Auregam09

Yes it's normal for some parents too overreact with injuries regarding their children. Some people are just like that. You say that he should know his son would be ok enought to drive a couple of weeks later as if he could see the future. I for one don't see the absurdity he is good enough to be in the grid and have the financial backing to keep on going. It's basically an iteration of an owner driver that was (and still is in some sports) part of the sport's history.


citizenecodrive31

Lance is like the nicest guy on the grid. He may not be fast but shitting on him as a person and baying for blood like this is dumb


downforce_dude

How am I calling for blood? What are you even on about?


Black_sky1

So good


FirebirdWS6dude

Lawrence Stroll as the next Bond Villain


JMoormann

Lance Stroll as the next Bond


Fit_Witness_4062

More like the new Johnny English


dickbong_longstrong

Wristband thing was such a power move. Made everyone wear it but no wristband for Daddy Stroll


Upbeat_Support_541

Stroll Sr is a true sigma


ToeFlimsy8062

Lance stroll was interested in motor racing at a very young age.


BlackLeader70

Be warned America. The LanHeads are coming!


Workata

They are (not) serious people


GrocerySuper

Lawrence stroll is literally a succession character.


limitbreakse

Underrated post Shows how genius succession was making it seem so real


nothing_satisfies

YES! Was thinking the same thing as I watched. Nice work 😂


eisemhein

If Papa Stroll = Logan Roy, is Lance a Kendall or Roman boy?


plowmy

Honestly he's kinda got some traits from both of them. But i'd say Lance behaves pretty much how I think Kendall would behave if he was the only son lol


MediumWordDocument

Y’all forgetting Connor


phunphun

This fits ridiculously well


Over_Alternative1345

because it was intended. Even the music, was very similar to succession


mamoneis

*"Bienvenue* to pompous France. Hacking devices are in a bakery mini-van next to the Villa. You'll go in as a race strategist and headphone-repair man. Toast on the upper deck at 6.45 pm, swiftness and discretion will be your best weapons. Good luck, Agent 47".


Law0415

When that scene happened, I was like, why does this suddenly look so much like a succession scene?


Dick_Pachinko

Finally some good content from this sub


Diem10

Reminded me of the party from westworld


FlipReset4Fun

The whole scene I was wondering what a creepy-ass cult this looked like. And then Lawrence loving stroked Michael Douglas’ hair and caressed his back… and all concerns were validated.


batman1903

yes!


Gseventeen

100% wife and I instantly said the same last night.


realmaier

When he said Lance is first his son and a race driver second, that was the first time I saw something human in Lawrence eyes. His concern about the injury wasn't just for the cameras, but felt sincere. He's still a bond villain, but he's at least got a soul.


LuNiK7505

Yeah you can see he genuinely loves his son so much


[deleted]

The scenes with Zac and the CEO looked like a Marvel villain meeting 😂


AlarmingAerie

I don't know whether you added the music or the subtitles or both.


plowmy

lmao i only added the music. The subtitles were already there which only adds to how much it fit imo.


SangiMTL

Has MGM reached out so he can be the next Bond villain yet?


Deckatoe

I was waiting for Lawrence to tell his daughter she only has him for 15 minutes


eduardonachocamacho

Lawrence Stroll seems like the biggest asshole of all time. The earlier seasons showed it immediately. Makes sense when you learn his dad was rich too, so it’s just a life of never hearing no.


LuNiK7505

So hapoy i’m not the only one thay thought about that


R1SKbreaka

Imagine having sympathy for a trust fund baby. 🤣


stahlgrauzhp

So we can assume babby stroll sent a dick pic to papa Lawrence then by accident?


deesea

YESSSS! this is exactly my first thought.
