Um not purely on performance.
I think um I was a little bit surprised.
Um but when you start to think of the bigger picture and the um the sponsorship that is associated with him um then yeah, I g I guess he's he's got a worth and he's that uh he is a a good, competent peddler
But not yet at the level, a consistent level of uh Pierre Gasly.
Um there are probably prospects that you in fact Alpine has honoured book Alex Dunn, who I would have um I would have been very keen to uh give a an opportunity to.
Um but that that's not in the big picture.
Uh you just uh in terms of performance
I would say he hasn't done enough to have guaranteed it and um given how ruthlessly Flavrio Biratori is
operated in the past.
Um if it was just on performance, I I don't think you would have been seeing that um confirmation at this earlier stage.
I think um Rio Tory, if it was just on performance, would have liked to have seen a bit more evidence and probably would have left it a bit later in the season.
Oh absolutely.
No, he's he's um he he's not uh pay driver in the sense that he's he's bought his way through the formula.
He's created a bit of a buzz in his home country.
Um and as a result of that there is fa you know, fantastic interest in in getting behind him uh from Argentina.
So
y in in an in that sense he's he's um he's brought the backing on merit.
Um I I I'm not critical of of the fact that um he he brings um money to the team.
It's it's more that I haven't yet seen a convincing
consistent d display uh of the sort of performance that looked feasible when he he first joined F one with Williams um a couple of seasons a tail end of a couple of seasons ago um when he really did look um uh a a very um probably genuine prospect.
