This is definitely an impressive fact. Of course, as a driver it's hard to break into F1 with so few teams (and I hope we have an easier route in for not just one new team, but more new teams - I don't recall if I mentioned that in my original post), and there are plenty of talented drivers not making it, but at least the field we have is of an extremely high calibre. It's good that those who are there are being given enough chance to make an impression. It's nice to not see a constant rotation. Even Logan Sargeant has got a second chance and let's hope he can get much closer to Albon, because it would be fantastic for Williams if he demonstrates that some drivers just need a bit more time and ultimately deliver on their potential.

Regarding Olivier Panis, he was my favourite driver growing up watching in my childhood era of the 90s. I don't know why I latched onto him, but I decided back in '94 or '95 that I wanted him to do well. Monaco '96 is one of my favourite F1 memories as you can imagine.

That depends how many races you vote higher than a "seven".
