Opinions on Daruvala

Discussion

Watching F2 this year (1st time ever I've watched season of any feeder series from start to finish, despite having irregularly following FR3.5, GP2 and EuroF3 before) and reading this sub I've noticed quite unexpected but vocal and charming group of fans whose passion for Jehan Daruvala is hard to ignore (cheers, folks!). Judging by this season I'd personally put him on a scale somewhere between 'okay' and 'good' marks, (closer to 'good'), but seeing how many people wait him to succeed and make it to F1 has intrigued me.

I've watched his statistics and found it decent but not especially mind-blowing. But of course, being an F1 fan and motorsport history lurker for 15+ years I am perfectly aware that statistics rarely tell the whole story. And of course, having Tsunoda as a reference point is hard to ignore too, since he seems truly exceptional.

Do I miss something to fully appreciate Daruvala's ability or just it happens he has a lot of fans? Would be glad to read your opinions.
