Didn't live up to the hype in F3 and F1's never really looked likely. Turned up in ELMS at Silverstone earlier this year and was blindingly fast in qualy, especially in the wet. Spent the race hitting things and getting penalised IIRC. Shame, clearly a fast driver, needs to sort his racecraft. Excellent at being interviewed, though. I suspect his long term future may end up being more media related.
