Maldonado's Performance Is More Than the Less Outstanding

Stroll isn't bringing the kind of level of technical understanding or ability to push the development of the car forward. He's not like Mark Weber was giving aerodynamic feedback to Red Bull compared to Sebastian Vettel. It's just Alonso being brilliant in a car that is finally matching his ability. And Stroll just isn't accessing that level of performance anywhere near enough of the time when you look at the first eight races of this season. I would say the performance level is Maldonado with a tails trimmed off, if that makes any sense.
