   Ah, good for him, fantastic opportunity for a young driver, just as long   
   as he keeps his nose clean in terms of understanding the pecking order   
   within the team. And I'm pleased he got it over Tsunoda, tbh. Yuki is not   
   very likeable, have seen him act like a spoilt brat too many times in the   
   last couple of seasons for my taste.
