Helmut Marko is such an idiot. Not because he's considering Lawson now but because he dismissed Lawson for so long. Even now Lawson apparently only has a chance if he wins the championship in Japan. Someone who won the very first F2 race he competed in and who actually contests the championship in his very first season of both Super Formula and in 2021 also DTM is obviously a quality driver.
Overlooking Lawson and instead first trying to get Colton Herta and then picking De Vries based on nothing but the performance of a single race was already moronic back then.
100% agree. Baffling that he's not already confirmed tbh. His f2 season was electric, not Piastri quality but way up there and exciting on track. He's like Iwasa on this season, flashes of insane brilliance and he's already shown this on his two outings on f1
As much as I wanted De Vries to excel, I thought Lawson should be there from day one, even in place of Ricciardo
I also hoped that De Vries would perform well and everyone likes Danny Ric but what's the point of a junior program that actually produces a capable young driver when Marko rather hires a Mercedes driver after a single outing?
Ikr, such a strange decision
