The fact we managed to find a worse F2 driver than Mahaveer is genuinely impressive.

[RdeCGaming]

We need a race between koolen, samaia, raghunathan, deledda, toth and chovanec

[secondpenaltyman]

i still dont know how he lost time under a safety car you gotta be a special kind of terrible driver to do that

[Ana-ycox]

Koolen was the worst full time IndyNXT driver this year and showed the world how bad he is in F2

[breeze]

Fun Fact: Rangunathan was 6.1 Seconds off the Polesitter in Baku back in 2019, Koolen was actually 6.7 Seconds down on the Polesitter in Baku this year, so Koolen is worse than Lord Mahaveer

To me, Mahaveer's legacy is better in 3 ways 1) he raced for a whole season, 2) there is hardly any interviews of him anywhere, and 3) I still can't figure out where the hell he got his funding from. It's like he was dropped into F2 from outer space. Talent-wise, though, seems like Koolen is a contender for worst in a long while.

I think Koolan is slower, but Lord Mahavir was worse.

“paying tribute to his birth year and driving like an absolute terrorist”- hey guys, will just dropped the joke of the century.

[matthijs]

As a Dutch person i would like to identify Niels Koolen as Belgian :)

[Vettelius]

Imagine an Aston Martin lineup with Stroll and this guy driving a Newey designed car 😭

[DawidSikora]

In Monza Koolen was 6th at restart and he went to 20th on the same track.. losing 14 places on one lap of Monza that has like 7 corners
In Baku Sprint he was so much behind the penultimate driver Safety Car hasn't waited for him to join the queue. I kid you not, the restart was with him 30 seconds behind the next driver

Koolaid is slower than my grandma on a tricycle






my grandma is cremated

We already seen many worst F2 drivers, including Koolen.
But no one can touch the legacy of Lord Mahaveer Ragunathan.

[RunningOnCylindersYT]

Koolen's results is how I expected Durksen's season to go since he also jumped from FRECA to F2 with little results in FRECA. But he's surprised me, even without the giga engine.

@FP1Will here are worst F2 drivers:
1st: Tatiana Calderon
2nd: The Lord Mahaveer
3rd: Alessio Deledda
4th: Nieils Koolen
5th: The Lord Nissany

[Duval-In-The-Wall]

This man does not have a top 15 finish in the standings of ANY level of racing lmfao

[sirishbhat]

how can the dutch have Max and Koolen at the same time is beyond me

[DougieFresh]

F1 review and Sting Ray Indycar on Sunday... and a F2 video on tuesday....fantastic

[newsmithyoutube]

I really thought AIX didn't need the money anymore after they sacked Nissany and got bought out by the Saudis...

8:19 No, they’ve won in Monaco in the Sprint Race with Barnard
