Tbf, he was on pole at Jeddah before he withdrew to sub for Sainz in the Ferrari. He’d probably be around 8th or so if he completed that weekend in the F2 car. And he finished 6th last year as a rookie.
But he has shown Haas and Ferrari through all of their private test sessions, sim work, and FP1 sessions that he’s prepared for the gig. F2 performance just isn’t valued anymore, especially when it’s apparent Prema don’t have the chassis setup figured out for the new car this year. This is probably going to be the fourth straight season where the F2 champ doesn’t graduate directly to F1 the next year. It’s unironically much more a rung on the Road to Indy ladder than anything else right now.

Paul Aron's performance is something else considering Mercedes dropped him and went all in on Antonelli and Vesti.

Sure, Kevin.

I wonder if he’ll be jettisoned off to sports cars like Vesti has been this year. There’s just a crazy backlog of talent that come up through the regional series and then F3/F2, then just have nowhere to advance to in F1.

Don't want to give away the result, but the Silverstone F2 sprint race might have shown us which way the F1 driver market may go.

More good drivers for WEC!
Right now, FP1 Silverstone has has very interesting.
One quick note, when you build your entire team around one car your second driver is always going to struggle.

For sure, lots of great paid driving opportunities elsewhere in the racing world right now. In a lot of other times these youngsters would just be screwed. IndyCar, Formula E, IMSA, WEC, GTWC are all viable for young drivers who come up through European junior open wheel.
