I get that people don't like Mazepin (deservedly) for his personal indiscretions, but objectively speaking, he isn't a bad driver.

He had 17 points-finishes in 2020 out of 24 starts. Only Mick Schumacher had more points-scoring finishes.

Yeh... no. He is less than stellar IMO.

The news last year was that Ferrari were 60hp down on Merc and the rumour this year is the Merc engine is up 25hp. So that puts Ferrari still a nett 30hp down on Merc.

You meant to say that the Mercedes engine is up 25hp So that puts Ferrari 30 Donkeys down ;)

In reality though it is too soon to tell.

I hope the Ferrari has regained the power and I hope that Redbull are a serious threat.
Not because I want Mercedes to be beaten but I do want F1 to be a challenge again.

p.s .I would love to see a resurgent McLaren beat Mercedes, Redbull and Ferrari :)

I never said he was a future world champion.

As I pointed out, only Mick Schumacher was more consistent in F2 last year while Yuki Tsunoda, Callum Ilot and Robert Shwartzman all made more mistakes and were less consistent. He was one of the better drivers in F2 last year and you can't really argue that. Don't be surprised if he has a competent season and keeps Mick honest. Unfortunately for both drivers though, they will be driving arguably the worst car on the grid.

He is going to have a hothead season because he's a hothead. Can't stop years of training unfortunately.
