My Take
Theo Pourchaire is the talented kid stuck in motorsport's cruelest waiting room. Born 2003 in Grasse, he was Formula 3 runner-up in 2020 and Formula 2 champion in 2023, exactly the resume that used to guarantee a grand prix seat. Instead the F1 grid stayed shut, and he has pivoted to sportscars with Peugeot in the World Endurance Championship while serving as a Mercedes development driver. I feel for drivers like him: doing everything right is no longer enough when the seats simply are not there. His talent is not in question; the timing and the economics are. I am quietly rooting for a second act.
