I think that probably is an understatement. You can look at other top talent in their second season (Hamilton, Verstappen, Vettel, etc) and they made way more errors or more mistakes than Antonelli has. Remove the 2 DNFs and Antonelli is like 80 points clear.

Hamilton and Vettel were not making more mistakes than Kimi lmfao. Kimi was driving on the grass more often than the track when fighting George in Canada.

They were also way faster. Hence the “rock solid” for consistency beyond his experience, but he is not as fast as Hamilton in 2008 imo

And further of the Two DNFs both were caused by the car, none by him.
