He was not going to [get a] probability in any respect for an F1 seat, then he received a free probability when Alex Albon received sick, did job and unexpectedly he’s the very best factor since sliced bread. He’s the identical driver he’s been for all the opposite years.
“Take a look at Oliver Bearman [in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix]. These are good guys however the week earlier than he certified 18th in Bahrain, then he will get an opportunity at Ferrari.
“He did a good job however was in probably the greatest vehicles and he’ll in all probability get an opportunity out of it. It’s all about notion however groups don’t need to take dangers on drivers any extra. The one approach you will get there’s by getting a loopy alternative in a race seat.”
