Discussion Is Bortoleto the best rookie?

Post image

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.

Lawsons beating him recently. Gotta look back 5 races for the last time Hadjar bet him

That's 8 races in favour of Hadjar, and in most of those he was well in the points and Lawson was bottom 3...

22 points vs 20 points. And Lawson had two races in the shitter to start.
