He was 9th in F3, behind Pedro Piquet :haha: Schwartzman won the title

Not sure what went wrong for Piquet in F2 tbh, had a cracking F3 year in an average car. Was improving greatly towards the end in F2 mind
Last year piquet was in trident gp, a very good team in developing talents. I know his engeener, he’s a good friend of my best friend. We were in trident f3 motorhome watching f2 feature race in monza last year. I also have a photo or a video with him i think. To be fair I hardly recognized him. F3 boxes are still old fashioned things once u got the pass.

Yep, he had a very good year, crushing his team mates rather like tsunoda. This year they've gone very different directions though. Obviously piquet lacked the red bull backing and I think he chose the wrong f2 team, there's something a bit loopy about them lol

I'm guessing they were the cheapest f2 team for dad to pay for. Reading between the lines of his parting statement it seems he's friendly with De Vries or Illot and is very unimpressed with how their route to F1 is blocked by someone like Mazepin

Tsunoda got my vote. Presumably in the better car, so he'll finish ahead of them. Looks more talented, too.

But it'll be interesting to see if either Schumacher or Mazepin dominate the other and make themselves look better than they are (and extend an F1 career for which they may or may not be worthy).

Here you are the second vote. The way mick beat yuuki in sochi makes me think he’s at least at the same level of the jap. Also mazepin do not overlook him, he’s faster than most people think.

I voted for Mick, basically because I don't know anything about the others. On consideration I probably made a mistake as he's in a Haas and Yuki is in an Alpha Tauri, so on that basis alone he should do better. Please note the should ;)

When you Google Mazepin, all you find is stories like this

I wouldn't want someone like him on my team and I hope he vacates F1 very quickly

I'm not really hyped for the upcoming season, although Yuki is one of the reasons I'm very curious to watch.

Tsunoda is quickly becoming annoying. Mazepin has no place being in F1. Schumacher is doing a good job considering.
