Based on? Let's be clear good on him it's an interesting pick. However, there is a long list of drivers who did not make it in this very program. It's easy to look at accolades for a barometer of what a driver in this program could achieve but there is the other side to.
One only has to look at their current drivers to see how flippant and indecisive the program can be. Kvyat was brought back because he had been in the program and they needed a driver. Albon who was apart of the program years prior was brought back after running well against backed drivers in gp2. Gasly who got to RBR only to be demoted to STR again.
So the road is pretty long and very uncertain and no one can be sure how it will pan.

That’s amazing for Igor, maybe we get another Red Bull X-car in a few years time?
👍 (Just remembering that his first victory in Europe was in the Red Bull Ring ...)

I know it's a big if, but if a GT Sport champ became an F1 driver, it would be immense...
