This explains why Ekstrom was selected as reserve driver. He did the least laps (23). Given the fact that he does not have any experience in single seaters, his lap time is not bad. It shows his impressive talent.

I am convinced the youngsters can still improve a lot.
Yep, they only need more testing. True that Ekström hasn't driven single seaters too, I almost forgot about that! Looking closer he's gone from Renault 5 Junior -> STCC -> DTM with a few WRC outings along the way.
