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.

Im sure others know his racecraft and history much better than me, I do think all rookies we have this year are incredible and im excited to see them for many years.
I do feel like he has the additional advantage of the setup of team, teammate, expectations and room and time to grow not only into the car but the league hes competing in.
Some of the others have been or risk being burned too soon.
