I confess I thought it was never going to happen for Nico Hulkenberg, one of the feelgood moments in F1 for an while it was for me with Nico finally get that elusive podium.

We've seen Colapinto wreck more cars than Schumacher in much less races, but he is still there.

Colapinto is certainly living off his first 2-3 races for Williams where he was a surprise package who performed great, got points and was beating Albon in certain sessions, but since then it's hard to say he's been anything other than one of the worst drivers on the grid, he certainly hasn't been any improvement on Doohan.

Last season he was quick but crash-prone. This season he's slow and crash-prone, surely he's not surviving the summer break even if he makes it through the next 2 races.

The fact he was a direct replacement for Sargeant also made him look better than he is. It's like recent Haas, Mazepin made Schumacher look better than he was, then K-Mag comes in and wipes the floor with him, then the season after K-Mag himself is made to look poor by Hulk. Comparisons can be misleading...
