ThatFPM8Guy: Rapido and Novikov 'the best' out there

Meanwhile his young driver Wilsean Dahir is impressing in the F3 British Series, all of FPM8's eyes goes on the F1 races. His favourite ones to watch were Rocco Rapido (the young gun setting the records) and Damon Michael Novikov (the newboy who is pumping the fans' hearts out).

Let's start with what happened:
Romain Louis Grosjean Jr, the Frenchman who drives for Red Bull might've taken another pole position with Novikov in the Jordan alongside him and Rapido with his McLaren in 3rd. They all swapped places for the race, Grosjean Jr. dropped out of the fight after it was Rapido who denied the young Russian his first win. But it changed for the next round, It was a Red Bull front row with Grosjean Jr. on pole but has only won once at Malaysia. All 3 of them plus St. Germain Jr. fighted out on track before a mechanical problem sent the World Number 1 out, dropping it down to 3. Grosjean Jr. was leading before he made a mistake dropping him down to 3rd but Novikov and Rapido were still strapping!! Novikov fended off the hungry Suiss to win his first F1 race.
FPM8 commented: 'Novikov and Rapido are the best drivers here right now, inferior cars and they are fighting for podiums, they are both hungry young men that really want to taste victory, Grosjean Jr. has the best qualifying speed, he's still unbeaten so far but his problem is that he can't turn it into a race victory and it's because he lacks race consistency.'
He also mentioned the senior drivers in this: 'Depsite the younger ones are impressing, St. Germain Jr. dominated the last 4 seasons but it's unlikely he'll do it again this season, he has already hinted that he might hang up his boots anytime soon. He's a great driver but his time is running out, he's not the only one in this siutation, Acarini isn't fighting for wins anymore nor is Grandi, Grandi used to be my favourite on the grid but I can't blame him that he isn't anymore, his car is an absolute shitbox and I feel for him. I'm expecting all 3 to hang up their boots at the end of the season. One day, the whole grid will be filled with drivers under 28 years old and it will happen sooner than later.'
