I wouldn't say he looked immature before, but after his ferrari drive he looked like a kid that was so excited. Now he looks so measured and matured and still enjoy the greats results greatly, which is something I love in a driver, the way he is open to learning accepting his mistakes at this young age is impressive. For sure he has a great future ahead of him
