Normal service resumed on Sunday though 😉

Normal service within what time frame?

Over the past 3 rounds, Latifi has scored 20 more points than Rowland (65 compared to 45). He also isn't bending the rules of racecraft. I'm getting less and less convinced by Rowland.

It's the category you should be less convinced about!

So when Rowland outscores Latifi it's talent, but if Latifi outscores Rowland it's the category? They're in the same car after all...

Basically Rowland has had a few bad days and it gave Latifi and a few others behind the Leclerc juggernaut a chance.
But you dont seriously believe Latifi is a match do you?!

Chunt, i don't think anybody is suggesting that, more surprise that Rowland isn't wiping the floor with him ala Leclerc - Fuoco, whatever way you look at it, as a whole, it has to be slightly tarnishing his image/reputation/prospects a little.

Funnily enough I quite liked the look of Latifi in F3, and felt he might be one to keep an eye on, so i'm kind of glad he is doing as well as he is.

I will reserve judgement on Rowland until the end of the season. Whilst no-one is going to challenge Leclerc on a regular basis he must secure 2nd in the points over Markelov and Latifi.

Clearly his race performance are not matching his qualy or outright pace so we have to wonder why he is not able to do that.
