Good grief, why?? He can barely finish much ahead of them when he's in a top car.
Maybe there's not much difference in talent, but Colapinto has ties to Carlos Slim. He is a Perez surrogate for the Slim family. If Carlos Slim wants his brands represented in Formula 1, he does need to consider how to operate without an aging Perez.JordanMugen wrote: ↑01 Nov 2024, 23:27It doesn't make sense unless RBR only cares about money.
I just don't see how Colapinto is significantly more impressive than Lawson, or why Hadjar does not warrant an F1 debut in the second team.
Agreed. His ability to qualify well in lower midfield cars is notable. But, why teams keep signing him when he has an obvious performance ceiling, I don't know. His GP2 championship was 14 years ago. And, after only three top-5 finishes in 220+ starts, he's been an obstacle to younger drivers since at least 2017, IMO.Dunlay wrote: ↑02 Nov 2024, 06:10How poor is Hulk to be beaten so conveniently by a young driver jumping into the car without a great deal of track experience. That's 2 weekends this year. Just shows how much of a disservice are the old drivers to F1 who are holding precious spots and denying a future for the young drivers waiting in the wings. What a shame.
