Also worrying is that for a four-time champion, many massively doubt that he is not much more than a good Formula 1 driver. He has a good opportunity here, but unfortunately for him, he may need to thrash Stroll to get credit, as rightly or wrongly, Lance isn't considered much of a yardstick by some.

That's pretty much it all in one there BR!
As is also clear is that this was Vettels only real option ti stay in F1. So he must still back himself fairly highly to do a good job even if he's looked at best inconsistent and at worse a liability in the last couple of years.
