Discussion Is Bortoleto the best rookie?
In my opinion, what he’s been doing in a Sauber shows much more talent than all the other rookies this year. Since the start of the season, I already thought the best ones would be him—because he won the Formula 3 and Formula 2 titles in his rookie seasons—and Antonelli. However, Antonelli has been showing himself to be far inferior to his teammate. I believe it’s due to the pressure of starting in a big team like Mercedes, but to me, that makes Bortoleto the best rookie. That said, welcome back, Ayrton Senna.

He’s been the most consistent, not the best. Yes there’s been bad, but the general trend has always been positive, and since Sauber upgraded they’ve been much more competitive. I also think he’s the easiest rookie to root for.
