No disagreement there; and he and Max seem to get along. Very important in team chemistry. He's not consistent; but a good driver. Another year and maybe he'll be a more solid teammate. I'd say he's as good of driver as RBR needs in #2; just needs more consistency in qualifying. I'd say he's as good as Lando, but not as good as Sainz (who's on fire lately). In reality, he's probably 3rd best "#2" man.
Of course, WTF do I know. I have no clue how hard it is to drive those cars without anybody else on track; let alone that freaking standing start and how to prep tires for quali and all that jazz.
However, that said, I do think Seb has been downhill since that 2018 crash. Also while no dislike for ALO he is devisive (apparently) and I don't think the "we need a former F1 champ to help us develop" is that smart of strategy on Papa Stroll's part. The others I mentioned...Ricciardo (always overrated for "last of the late brakers"), Latifi and Tsunoda are not in the same league as some of these F-2 guys they've tested. I'm on the fence with Schumacher. If he cannot do better next year, he needs to go to sports car racing or something. No shame in being a top LeMans prototype driver.
. Should be a great race next weekend in Zandvoort too. Wish I could be there, always liked this place close to the beach. Had many great weekends there in the late 80’s early 90’s.
