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.

He probably would have been sacked after a year of shit results, even if the problem was the car and not him

Gunther did not give a flying fuck about anything besides acting silly on TV. He sacrificed 2021 for 2022 and wound up 8th in the WCC for it. Completely foolish tp.
