“Having been thrown into cold water, he is definitely swimming. Not only swimming, he is not comfortable in the car, it is too small, it is not his steering wheel so I would say it is more than solid what he has delivered.”
And what did Wolff find most impressive about the young Briton?
“His speed. What I saw the last time with him when I was able to benchmark him in F3 and F2, I have now seen in a Formula 1 car.
“His kindness about approaching it and just a really considered approach, I would say,” concluded Wolff.
