so did everyone
in all fairness, i think he posted some seriously and constantly competitive laptimes in spa (of all places) and ive read somewhere that spa was actually the first weekend of the season, when he was given the exact same spec as hulkenberg...
i dont think we are losing a big talent, but sure he would have looked much better if the team didnt use him as a guinea pig. also, from personal experience, he comes across as a genuine nice guy (maybe even too nice for f1), so while i dont think he is schumi, i do feel a little sorry, and certainly hope he will pull a few real confident boosting drives in whichever series he is heading to.
