I must admit the start was too aggressive but his pace was very good. Then he made a mistake, not a good race. Second race was much better tough. No mistakes, very good and consistent pace and a great last overtake. 5th has been a quite encouraging result.NathanOlder wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 10:26Just watching the F2 in Baku. Eventful race so far, and Schumacher being a rookie. Turn 1 lap 1, massive lunge up the inside of Ghiotto. Taking the pair of them from 3rd and 4th to 7th and 9th. Then on the restart lunging up the inside of Hubert and making contact. Few laps later Schumacher spins out. Bye bye.
Go Jack Aitkin.
What’s in it for him? The experience of a lifetime? Race in F2 and do something that 99.99999999999...999% will never do?marmer wrote:Would love to know how someone gets to this level but can be so slow in a spec car compared to everyone else
Mahaveer Raghunathan was 6 seconds off the pace in qualification nearly 3 seconds off the next car.
During the race maybe two laps after a safety car he lost a 5 second gap to the car in front.
It know it's probably money but what's in it for him. He is so far away it's not like he can even learn what others are doing he can't see them.
Still, quite embarrasing for him.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑29 Apr 2019, 23:44What’s in it for him? The experience of a lifetime?

I mean, there are probably silliest ways to throw money away, right?

Like the guy who chases supermodels. Zero chance of getting one, but is fun to try, and if you can afford it, why notSmallSoldier wrote: ↑29 Apr 2019, 23:44What’s in it for him?

His pace in F2 is being very good but he has made some mistakes+the team makes mistakes+his team mate have some crazy days. But as a rookie he has been clearly faster than his teammate from day 1. As it happened in F3 he needs to improve his qualy performance because his race pace is excellent as it we saw in Austria. France also looked promising but he couldn´t show it. Baku was another good one(second race). I expect him to have a quite good second half of the season. Apart from that Prema is not the same team in F3 and F2. Not only speaking about the car itself but also the team makes more mistakes.NathanOlder wrote: ↑25 May 2019, 22:43Looks like the hype around young Mick is pretty much dead. It was clear in previous years he wasn't as good as some were saying/hoping.
Yeah Zhou has done very well and seems to be getting stronger. Considering he finished behind Schwatzman, Armstrong and Vips who all ended up in F3, while Schumacher ended up in F2, Zhou has stepped up very well indeed. Plus Ghiotto isn't a slow driver as a team mate.Vasconia wrote: ↑03 Jul 2019, 11:48His pace in F2 is being very good but he has made some mistakes+the team makes mistakes+his team mate have some crazy days.

Anyway, the impresive rookie is Zhou. Great job so far.
Well, there are at least 3 drivers or more who shoudn´t be there.NathanOlder wrote: ↑03 Jul 2019, 16:56Yeah Zhou has done very well and seems to be getting stronger.

I have to say Micks team mate is way too slow for F2, had plenty of chances and doesn't deserve to be there now.
