Episode notes
Behrman's Peak Versus Consistency
- Ollie Behrman's Mexico fourth showed he's capable of peak Ferrari-level performances but still needs consistency.
- Teams view his trajectory positively and prefer him to develop at Haas before a promotion.
Leclerc Comparison Is Useful But Not Exact
- Behrman's rookie season isn't Leclerc's level yet but his peaks match Leclerc's best weekends.
- If he repeats Mexico-level execution regularly, his promotion case strengthens dramatically.
Ocon As A Useful But Flawed Benchmark
- Behrman has outpaced Esteban Ocon frequently, revealing Ocon as a weaker benchmark this season.
- Haas suits Behrman: it lets him develop peaks while gaining consistency without immediate Ferrari pressure.
