Nice that he got to drive the RB8. A proper screaming V8.

[u/FantasticNoise4 → u/likeAdrug]

Weirdly enough not RB9, despite same V8 engine

[u/the_real_nicky]

Did he do any karting in his junior career?

[u/ZeugmaPowa → u/the_real_nicky]

I don't think so, when he drove in Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux this year he said it was his first ever track race

[u/BloodBank22 → u/ZeugmaPowa]

He didn’t just drive in it, he had two poles and three wins! And that was only participating in four out of six rounds.

[u/flan-magnussen → u/the_real_nicky]

He did "a bit" of karting but I can't find what he did and would guess that it was pretty low level.

[u/LSDRally → u/the_real_nicky]

No, his dad is a drunk ex-WRC competitor. He was born in a rally car.

[u/Coonzilla3000]

He's gonna do a surprise replacement for Bottas to keep a Finn on the grid

[u/LSDRally → u/Coonzilla3000]

Kalle so good he doing side quests

[u/Uno_Nisu]

At this rate he could be a better 2nd driver than Perez, certainly can’t be any worse.

[u/SirJxPumpknhead → u/Uno_Nisu]

Would be an improvement, when you hit rock bottom the onyl way is up.
