Don't know this is the right step. He's very young and it's a big step from Formula Renault 1600 to F3000.

Gabriele Tarquini went from karting to F3000, Kimi Raikkonen went from F Renault to F1, so it can be done.

He's good enough. I saw him at the last race in Zolder. He's a mega talent.

The danger, of course, is that if things don't go well early on in the season the driver's inexperience can see his head go down - and losing confidence makes things even worse.
Result - one promising driver is finished before he really starts. Lets hope that doesn't happen in this case. |
