    Plus teammates might help get him to be a bit more consistent.

    Good bronze drivers can keep in the pack of gold drivers. That’s what Proton frequently tell Fassbender. Even one of the worst Formula E drivers of all time, Antonio Giovinazzi, managed to win Le Mans with his team.

      Having a team shittier than Haas doesn’t really help his campaign on Formula E tho. For what it’s worth Giovinazzi has been one of the faster Ferrari drivers in the simulator. From what I’ve read he’s also good at driving endurance cars too. That’s another reason why Ferrari still keeps him around.

        I’ve heard this excuse over and over again but it’s nothing but an excuse. He was never in striking distance of his team mate, he quit most races, and when he was finally replaced with a rookie coming from Super Formula, that rookie matched Giovinazzi’s best result right away. It’s unacceptable for a racer to quit all the time whenever the car is not competitive. Not even Stroll, Latifi, or Mazepin did that.

        For what it’s worth Giovinazzi has been one of the faster Ferrari drivers in the simulator.

        If that was true, he would be in Leclerc’s or Sainz’s seat.
