No chance he does better than Lawson, Antonelli, Bearman and Doohan, this season alone, he's arguably amongst the top 5 worst drivers on the grid, alongside Stroll, Zhou, Magnussen and Bottas (I don't count Sargeant because he's not in F1 anymore)
@@Prypak this isnt a good season for alonso but youre smoking crack to think hes anywhere near the bottom 5. Implying drivers like albon, esteban, gasly, and even checo rn are better than him is crazy talk
@@Prypak what you huffing mate, cause gimme in summa that. Alonso is one of, if not the goat. replace him w perez, and bottas is in a sauber for gods sake, K mag is pretty good when he isnt a living wreaking ball and the @johnycrisps3112 guy, albon on fire rn mate come on
This Alonso kid looks like he could race for Renault, win 2 championships in a row, race for McLaren and Ferrari, retire and come back to Alpine and Aston Martin.
No one seems to be talking about Doohan though, I hope he does well, no, I hope all rookies do well - I already like what I've seen from Lawson and Bearman so far (Colapinto too), but honestly Doohan just seems to be not talked about what so ever, then again he'll be in French hell known as alpine
I think Nyck wasn't bad for a rookie. Unfortunately, he entered F1 a bit too late and wrong to the wrong team. He is 2 years older than Max so his runaway was limited which is why I think he took the risk with the RB seat instead of the Williams to get a chance in the senior team. In hindsight, it was a very bad move because RB had multiple drivers in the lineup so he had to perform immediately. I think if he were at Williams he would be given more to get up to speed like other rookies instead of just half a season and likely could have performed better. Also, RB was the worst car on the grid for the first half year.
Plus he had the pressure of being an fe world champion so people automatically assumed he was gonna dog walk the midfield but in reality that obviously didn’t happen
I think it is too early to judge how Lawson will go next year. If he is slower than Yuki in these next six races he may not be on the grid next year and we might see Hadjar replacing him. If he is faster than Yuki, he may end up alongside Max next year which will make it harder for him to look good unless Max loses his motivation and stops pushing himself. I think Doohan will surprise a lot of people though. It might take him a while to settle in but I think he will turn out to be faster than Gasly. Bearman will struggle. Not because he isn't good enough, but because he has the worst possible team mate. There may be a lot of Haas on Haas crashes next year.
It's good we're getting more rookies but to be honest I do feel like there's some talents that deserve it more. Like so far the highest placed rookie to be promoted from the current F2 grid is Antonelli in 6th*. And I get the drivers mostly get promoted due to connections and how prepared they are but it does suck that guys like Hadjar and Bortoleto may have to wait a year and 3rd placed Maloney is off to Formula E instead - not even being considered for F1. Then theres someone like Pourchaire who had an identical trajectory as Bearman but only main difference was he was in the wrong academy at the wrong time. F1 at the moment doesn't necessarily feel like it's the most talented kids getting an opportunity but the ones that have the right connections and can pay for the most private tests to be the most prepared.
missed opportunity to talk about bortoleto's massive last to first in the monza feature race. that guy knows how to cook. To be honest i can't chosse wich driver i would want to see next year between Colapinto and Bortoleto. (great video btw)
oof the powers that be, would not let a 19 yo kid Liam win a big boy series at DTM with a car and tracks he hasn't ever raced in, against their seasoned professionals. wouldn't be a good look, so they shafted him twice in that last race.
I am kind of surprised hadjar isnt even mentionned in Bonus' since he is now the reserve driver and if perez or tsunoda leaves mid 2025 hes likely to replace them
@@F-Duck1unless liam doesn’t instantly pick up where he left off. i see a world where red bull kicks liam after half a season if he doesn’t do good enough from what they’re expecting.
I think someone put it very nicely where they said with Max Verstappen the sentiment was that they are putting a child in a F1 car and expecting him to deliver but with Kimi Antonelli the sentiment is that he will be the next Max Verstappen so yeah that's all I have to say about this
I think Bearman is overrated and I think Doohan will flop(not only because he took Paul‘s cockpit).He had only one good phase like Sargaent and got outqualified by Cordeel quite a few times
Bearman being almost exactly a year younger than me (it’s 11months instead of 12 🤷♂️) is scaring me like wdym these 18year olds are more successful than me 😭😭
Liked and Subbed. Great video and I am so glad you took the car into account with you rankings. Lawson knows pressure the red bull way and is adaptable. Most of the Super Formula tracks he had never driven. If his team mate hadn't of run him off the track at Motegi or the finale races had of gone full length in SF he would have won. Should have won DTM and he dominated Alex Albon as his team mate also. He knows he has to help outscore Haas and try and beat yuki or at least be close.
I'm have yet to be infected by the Bearman hype... in Formula 2 his teammates Vesti and Antonelli have left him in the dust. In Jeddah he did bring home the second fastest car on the grid in P7 which is respectable but not exactly spectacular. and when we're talking about his Haas debut, we shouldn't forget that he was even quicker to smash his car into the barriers than Nikita Mazepin. It's going to be tough for Antonelli, even if Mercedes will come back strong next season. Thanks to the relentless efforts of hashtag blessed (who is set to bless our beloved team next year) and his cult, the team is now seen by many as the second coming of the Third Reich and the British meejah will have a field day with even the tiniest mistakes by Antonelli (Sky F1 gloatingly replayed his shunt in Monza about a thousand times while Bearman's trip into the barriers in Baku apparently never happened). Welcome to the world of Brit bias, kiddo. Lawson won't be a rookie next year... IF he will get a drive for 2025, that is. He has already shown that he has what it takes. But, while his debut stint last year was one of the most impressive ones in a long time, he did commit a cardinal sin in Singapore last year. Fighting Max Verstappen for position, as ballsy as it was, holding him up for two laps and in doing so most likely saving Leclerc's sorry behind in P4, surely didn't go down well with the powers that be. A blatant violation of rule #1 for any RB junior team driver: you see navy blue in your mirror you better dematerialize ASAP.
I think he won’t be in the grid next year but if yuki or Liam leaves vcarb then for sure he’s getting the seat. For now I think he’s the next Liam Lawson in terms of being stuck in 3rd driver hell
ANTONELLI will wipe the floor with Russell just watch! And when he is so much higher in the championship that Mercedes will start prioritizing him George will break 😳 and than cry about it all the time
the thing you talked about in the 1st minute is just hype. bearman and lawson are just mediocre. we'll see if colapinto's form continues. there's not even enough proof of antonelli's skill. doohan has no chance with that car also. i'm nearly certain that there will be another harvest time like the rookies before. drugovich would've been good actually though.
alonso looks promising. World champion material right there.
I think he could win two tbh

I think Bearman will have issues simply based on the fact his teammate is Ocon.
Unfortunately
Bearman is 100% fucked by having Ocon in Haas. Ocon will be only focused on beating or screwing Bearman.
lets just pray for him
It'll be Alonso 100%
Yup

the rookies being your age and under is so real for me as well now 😭
Someone my age is more talented than me, day ruined 😞
This Alonso kid looks like he could race for Renault, win 2 championships in a row, race for McLaren and Ferrari, retire and come back to Alpine and Aston Martin.
I could see it happening 👀
That is an oddly specific career path xD
Franco Colapinto 🇦🇷😎
He’s cooking
Im praying to see him at the grid!!
More excited to see what Bearman can do, then the other rookies. Despite what Mercedes keep saying Kimi looks about 1-2 years away from F1.
Maybeee
Still Antonelli is humiliating bearman in F2 as his teammate
It would be a shame if colapinto and bortaleto both dont get seats
That seems the case for next year, but I have hopes for 2026🤞
2026 hopefully
At least bortoleto secured one in sauber, unfortunate for colapinto but maybe he can get one in 2026 hopefully
No one seems to be talking about Doohan though, I hope he does well, no, I hope all rookies do well - I already like what I've seen from Lawson and Bearman so far (Colapinto too), but honestly Doohan just seems to be not talked about what so ever, then again he'll be in French hell known as alpine
Yeahhh, I could only hope he doesn’t succumb to the French hells tomfoolery
8:18 zhou was an alpine jr then joined sauber / Alfa.
Oh shoot you’re right
When you said "either my age or younger " that hit 😂😂
It’s sad but also really cool. It’s a weird feeling lol
Ollie will have a car developed under lewis and leclerc, by the time lewis retire Ollie will have the experience needed to bag p1's
Let’s hope 🤞
If Colapinto is in the grid, definitely him. He beated bearman with similar machinery in Baku. He's showing amazing potential ❤

Colapinto and Lawson aren't "rookies" anymore... and they may not even get a drive next year. :(
Add the list to gabrial bortoleto and also pray for bearman

The rookie named Alonso
Not as good as the youngster, he's been bad this year, like really bad

Yeah that’s true

I’m older than kimi and I’m having a mid life crisis now 😞

Thanks! And tbh I just wanna see another Latino on the grid since checo is for sure gone within the next 2 years
i am from the future, Colapinto is world champ
I forgot to mention the fact that no one is comparing the height difference between Ollie and Kimi
It’s so funny cus, is kimi short, or is ollie tall?

Arons got no chance. He's talented enough but lacks the connections. I wouldn't be too surprised if he ends up in Formula E like Maloney has
Zhou was a Renault/alpine academy driver. He did have serious backing though.

He was, totally went over my head
I don’t know but I heard this Fernando Alonso guy is pretty good. Could be a potential World Champion 👀

Can drivers like Lawson be classed as a rookie by 2025 he will have done like half a season already.
Yes because it’ll be his first full season
