They changed the camera angle for the final corner and each lap it really throws me, no idea where they are on track when I see it.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

It does take a very low standard to be worse than Marriott

Or the rest just sucks? Seriously, how can it be that someone wins all 6 races? Does the rest suck that hard?

Does van amersvoort racing have 2 cars or only 1 car for verstappen? A teammate is the best comparison because he should have exactly the same car.

Gustavo Menezes (11th) + Jules Szymkowiak (17th).

They run three cars. Szymkowiak and Menezes are the other drivers. Menezes got on to the podium a couple times this season.

If anything it's made even more impressive by how good the opposition is.

Ocon is highly rated by Lotus (hence his position in the championship), while you've also got Fuoco, Blomqvist, Auer, Rosenqvist.

For him to come in and win six in a row in his rookie year in cars - against that opposition and in a team outside the Prema/Carlin/Mucke set-up is damn good.

Now he needs to make sure he continues this development and doesn't rush into things. At the moment he could be the best Dutch talent ever.

Yes he is very impressive and took fully his momentum.

But we have to remember that Van Amersfoort Racing was the only team to choose to make 2 days tests in Monza to test their low downforce configuration with the new engines.

There is more tricks with engine electronics with the new engines in terms of mapping. So the test was very very useful.

Teammates also saw their results improved.

But nevertheless he is very very impressivse.

Let's not forget it's also his very first season driving open wheelers. Just last year he was still racing karts.

If this kid wants to succeed he's going to need big sponsors or a big team has to pick him up. Without cash or a big team behind you you won't make it to Formula 1 these days.

If he was anyone else's son I'd say that won't be a problem.
