I don't think Kimi is having a bad season at all. Could it be better? Definitely, but he isn't embarrassingly slow either. He's made a few rookie mistakes that (very) seasoned drivers still make to this day.

Unfortunately for him his first race was probably his best one in terms of result; starting 16th or whatever and finishing 4th in a mixed conditions race!

The pressure is unnecessary, give him (and Russell) the contract.

If you dismiss the hype train, then I absolutely agree that Kimi isn't having a bad season. The next two years will tell us how good he is. Oscar was hyped up too and didn't exactly have an incredible rookie season and look at him now.

Frankly he’s clearly delivering for a …17 years old teenager driving a 1000hp Mercedes formula one.
