Lance Stroll deserves his chance in F1 and should not be dismissed as a pay driver according to Tom Gaymor who commentated on his European F3 title success. Alexander Ovechkin Jersey . Stroll will make his grand prix debut with Williams in 2017, but has been branded a pay driver - a label saddled with negative connotations - due to the financial backing from his father, Lawrence, a billionaire. But how good is the 18-year-old? And does he deserve his F1 opportunity in 2017? We spoke to Tom Gaymor, who has commentated on Strolls title-winning Formula 3 success this year for Eurosport... Is he ready for Formula 1?Tom Gaymor: I cant imagine Williams would put him in the car if they didnt think he was ready. Frank Williams has got to have been impressed with his character and probably echoed some of the points below himself. Bring on Australia.How good is Lance Stroll?TG: The reality of the situation is that he is very good because you cannot achieve what he has achieved without being good.I dont care what anybody says, anybody that has been a racing driver or has experience in the sport will understand you cannot win multiple championships, you cannot win an F3 championship without being good. He has earned his stripes and if Williams think he is ready then regardless of the amount of money he is bringing, they think he is ready. Tom Gaymor, F3 Commentator He has had very, very good team-mates in Maximilian Gunther and Nick Cassidy. George Russell, a McLaren Autosport Young Driver of the Year, is a very talented individual and on his day will be unbeatable. Lance has made them look silly.Yes, he has had a lot of support from Williams. Yes, he has technical support from Williams at the circuit, but he still has to go out there and do that.There is a huge percentage of drivers who have a huge amount of support because of the financial infrastructure that they have got and the people that they bring into their teams to support them and cant even replicate finishing in the top 10. So Lance has done an incredible job. How does European F3 work? 10 rounds at circuits in France, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Holland, Italy and Germany Three races at each round Last year he came under scrutiny because his race craft wasnt great, but he has learnt from that. He came into this year as the favourite and it didnt start that well for him. He won the first race at Paul Ricard, he had one podium Hungary, he had one podium out of three races at Pau and it wasnt until the fourth round of the year (10 races later) that he had his second win.In that period of time Gunther had two wins, Russell had a win, Ben Barnicoat was going well with two wins as well. It would have been easy for him to capitulate under that pressure. He rose above that, found his own rhythm and had the strength of character to settle into his environment and once the wins came he had the ability to keep winning. That is not always as easy as you think it is going to be, some drivers when they win say they feel next time out it is a lot easier, but some drivers fear having to replicate that, it can add pressure as well - particularly when you have three, four, five wins on the bounce.What makes Stroll stand out as a cut above?With Lance, what has impressed me is getting over two hurdles, bouncing back from his ban in 2015.Stroll was handed a one-race ban for moving in the braking zone at Les Combes at Spa. Running three abreast, he squeezed Mikkel Jensen and Felix Rosenqvist to the outside of the circuit and the three collided and crashed out of the race.Being able to withstand the criticism he faced last year - and it was scathing - because to have that amount of scrutiny as a youngster when you are insecure, trying to develop as a human being, trying to be accepted in a new world for you, it can be very damaging. He had the strength of character to rise above that.That will be very important when he goes to Formula 1 because unequivocally he is going to face scrutiny when he gets to Formula 1. It is going to happen, it is the world stage and you only have to look at drivers that have gone before him. If he makes two or three mistakes people are going to get their claws into him.Hes already proved he has a strong character - that will be important - and ability of dealing with the pressure of being a favourite and going out and delivering results. A lot of people get to Formula 1 by dodging that bullet. They dont have to deal with the pressure, they dont have to get the results, they can finish fourth or fifth in a championship and, with their funding, go up.Lance has answered his critics, he could not have done anymore, he has wrapped up an incredible amount of wins and at the end of the day beaten some very talented racing drivers to a very important title.What might be potential issues for him when he gets to Formula 1?I think hes only ever been within one stable, that stable has been built around him.It is no secret that the Stroll family invested in Prema, hes done a lot of testing within that environment, hes done all his racing within that one environment, the testing he is doing with Williams is with a car that they have bought and a team they have created to do that over this winter. So when he goes into Williams, he will feel accepted and they will make him part of the team because that is what any strong team does. But he will face that challenge of being under scrutiny and having to deliver within an environment he is unsure of.How will he deal with that? Only time will tell, but in my mind he is good enough.Would he have been better served with more years in junior categories?I am not a fan of seeing people moving up the ladder too quickly, people will always look at Max Verstappen and say well he has done it and they are always looking for the next Verstappen, the next Michael Schumacher, the next Ayrton Senna.Is Lance Stroll that? Hes only done two years in cars, I dont think there is any point in hypothesising, but he has earned his stripes and if Williams think he is ready then regardless of the amount of money he is bringing, they think he is ready.For the feeder series and their health I do think people should be encouraged to develop. But Verstappen, it doesnt matter what car you drive, he would develop as an individual. There were question marks over that before he went to Formula 1 and rightfully so, but once he got into Formula 1 he showed that as an individual he has total understanding of his process, he has total understanding of what to do, so he has developed as a human being, he has developed as an athlete. Hes done that incredibly quickly, thats down to his maturity and his ability to learn quickly.There have been examples before where drivers had great results but had not quite been ready. Romain Grosjean at Renault was one, but he went back, developed as a human and an athlete and hes come back to F1 as a very complete racing driver.Lance is very mature, hes learnt quickly, hes come through two important hurdles as mentioned above. Is he the complete human being, the complete athlete? No, but neither is Verstappen. Will he be able to rise to occasion? We will see that in the first three, four, five grands prix.

Jaromir Jagr Jersey . Toronto dropped a 7-2 decision to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon, with only a pair of late runs preventing a second straight shutout loss. Josh Willingham belted a two-run homer in the first inning and Kendrys Morales hit a bases-clearing double in the seventh as the Twins took the rubber game of the three-game series. http://www.shopcapitalsonline.com/Capitals-Rod-Langway-Adidas-Jersey/ . LOUIS - Two-thirds of the St.WASHINGTON -- When he found out he was getting his first start in seven weeks, Michal Neuvirth felt the same way he did before his NHL debut. Anxiety. Nerves. Butterflies. That first start, five seasons ago, went well for the Washington Capitals goalie and so did Fridays game against the Toronto Maple Leafs as he made 32 saves in a 3-2 victory. "I was nervous, couldnt really sleep before the game," Neuvirth said. "I was feeling like I was as nervous as my first NHL game. My girlfriend told me just do what you do and try to be good." Neuvirth was just that, giving up just two goals, both on deflections. In his first NHL game, Neuvirth had 31 saves in a 5-1 victory over Tampa Bay. "I thought he played a great game, I really did," Washington coach Adam Oates said. "First period, I think he had some shots that allowed him to get into the game, which is good for him. After the second goal, he made a fantastic save that saved the game for us." Neuvirths work paved the way for Joel Ward to score the go-ahead goal with just over 8 minutes left in the third period, and Alex Ovechkin added a goal and an assist. Nicklas Backstrom also scored as the Capitals won on back-to-back nights for the fourth time this year. It was the fourth straight loss for Toronto after a 3-2 victory over Detroit on Jan. 1 in the Winter Classic, and the Maple Leafs have been outscored 21-7 in the defeats. James Van Riemsdyk and Phil Kessel each had a goal and an assist. Coming off a 6-1 loss Thursday night at Carolina, Toronto saw some positives in the defeat. "This might be one of the better games weve played in a month. We showed desperation. We showed that we care," coach Randy Carlyle said. "Weve been begging, pleading, kicking, kissing, whatever we can do to try and find a way to play with some confidence. It seems like weve squeezed our sticks here. Its mind boggliing. Jonas Siegenthaler Jersey. " Kessels team-high 21st goal gave Toronto a short-lived 2-1 lead in the third when his shot went off the stick of Washington defenceman Karl Alzner and over the shoulder of Nuevirth. The Caps got the equalizer in similar fashion with 15:24 left as Backstroms severe-angle shot went off the skate of Maple Leafs centre Jay McClement and past Jonathan Bernier (32 saves) for his 11th goal. "A little lucky," Oates said. "Their second goal, Alzy breaks a stick on that deflection. A little lucky, so were even." Wards winner, his 13th of the season, came with 8:10 left, 6 seconds after Toronto had killed a penalty, as he fired a slap shot from 15 feet out on a pass from Marcus Johansson. "I was a little upset at first cause the way it kind of came off my stick," Ward said. "But I kind of got enough to actually go in." After that, Neuvirth kept Washington in command, making his final save with 12 seconds left. The last time the 25-year-old was set to play for the Capitals, on Nov. 29, he suffered a leg injury in warmups. He had not suited up for a game since. With the Caps playing their second of five games in a span of seven days, Braden Holtby struggling and rookie Philipp Grubauer coming off a taxing 4-3 win Thursday night at Tampa Bay, Neuvirth made his first start since Nov. 22. In the absence of Neuvirth, Grubauer (6-2-3) emerged as perhaps the teams most reliable goalie, prompting Neuvirth to request a trade last month. "Ive been watching a lot of hockey from the press box," Neuvirth said. "I havent seen the puck for some time. Probably would be tough if I get scored on in the first couple minutes, but I didnt want to think about it." NOTES: Washington D John Erskine had an eventful second period, drawing a pair of penalties for fighting. The scraps were against Cody Franson and Colton Orr.
