I don't think they dropped him too early, I think they promoted him too early. He only had half a season at Toro Rosso before being thrown into the deep end and being judged directly against Max Verstappen! It would have been interesting to see how he developed if he had a similar progression to Russell, with a few years in the slow car to get a feel for F1 before the promotion.
Yeah that's a really good point actually. I never really thought of it like that, and I had completely forgotten about the whole Gasly debacle.
Fair play to him though, he's absolutely proved his point on his return to F1. Must have learned a lot from his year with Goatifi.
