Logan Deserves So Much Better Than Most Of These Insane Comments About Him - Tumblr Posts
Seeing some takes here is truly wild.
Logan is not the same as Nicky was. Nicky started late in Carting, came from a rich family and has never really been rated very highly throughout most of his younger career. I adored Nicky but he was never a high rated driver and most of us were aware of that.
Logan meanwhile has been fighting against drivers like Oscar for his entire career. He didn't even have enough money for his junior career at one point. He was promoted to early which his own team principal said and then had the disadvantage of poor strategies as well as sitting out a race weekend and having to drive an older possibly damaged chassis. He was not given a fair chance.
Also saying he is just as bad as Giovinazzi is kind of funny considering Gio had some good qualy and race performances, went on to drive in FE and most importantly won Le Mans, doing quiet okay in WEC right now.
Nyck De Vries is a Formula E world champion and has been also doing quiet well in WEC this year, scoring a podium at Le Mans.
Using drivers that didn't do well in F1 as some form of gotcha moment is just simply not a good take. F1 is not the pinnacle of motorsport and a driver struggling in an already low rated midfield team is simply to be expected especially when they have been used to a different form of racing like Nyck was.
I will never call a driver bad simply because they didn't succeed in F1. F1 is not the end of a motorsport career nor is it the realistic goal to be aiming for sadly nowadays. F1 is not some sort of measurement for a quality of drivers. Many good drivers will never make it to F1 due to money or they failed because they had a horrible car etc.
F1 is not the end of the motorsport experience. There are so many ways to succeed, to make your name in the history books.
What I am trying to say at the end of all this is:
Logan is not the same as Nicky, Giovinazzi or Nyck.
Logan was never fully given a chance to succeed in F1 while most of them were. (Nyck being an exception.)
Logan not doing well in F1 doesn't make him a bad driver.
It sucks to see your dream destroyed like this but Logan is a young promising driver still.
He has his whole career infront of him.
And while it might not pan out the way he wanted it to, at least in another series at another team he will actually have the chance to fight for points and possibly even podiums.
