    • ][Luke Smith] The truth is Vasseur, who made his name in junior categories and knows everything happening in F2 and F3 even to this day, always held Bearman in high regard, only more so after Jeddah.

It didn't set targets for him in F2 or in his Haas practice outings, only to keep performing to the best of his ability and, importantly, keep developing.[/]
