Antonelli made a significant step from FRECA to F2, which is huge in terms of engine, tires, car setup complexity, and many other aspects. It's unrealistic to expect him to dominate F2. What's important is that he's outperforming his teammate, who had a strong F1 race replacing Sainz in Saudi Arabia. That impresses me.
As outsiders, we're unaware of how Antonelli works with engineers, his mental capabilities, and how his team rates him and why. There are many factors we don't know or understand. I'd like to see an analysis of his driving style from an experienced racing driver, as regular viewers like us can't spot the subtle details that distinguish exceptional drivers from the rest.
In any case, don't judge Antonelli solely on his current results. Especially, avoid comparing him to drivers who had much more experience before debuting in GP2.
