Great analysis!
Palmer was cool. He never set the world on fire, but he wasn’t a whiner or, worse - a crasher like that nutty Venezuelan Armco-magnet, Pastor Maldonado .
Palmer drove for Force India, Lotus, and Renault in Formula One... a talented and a charming dude - but it is a cruel sport with a staggeringly high cubic-€uro burn rate.
But I’d say this lad could be likened to a [much] younger David Hobbs... a damn good driver on any given day just without the correct balance of skill, sponsor cash flow, and - the critical factor all try to influence - luck to carve out a sustainable career behind the wheel. He is certainly worth of respect.
Good on him for the well-framed and insightful commentary. Thanks for posting that link, I hadn’t seen it!
