Yeah, but we cannot ignore that he showed very impressive pace in the Bahrain test earlier this year as well. He’s an unknown quantity but given his relative lack of race experience he has done pretty well so far. I think he needs another year or two at least before F1 honestly. What impressed me most about his F2 victory was not his pace but his ability to make the gap at the important parts of the circuit to stay ahead. He managed it well and didn’t crack once. To judge his overall pace and ability thus far is way too early. He needs time to mature and gain experience. Most other drivers on the F2 grid have much more experience than him.
