My original thought on this was: If a team thinks a driver is good enough to drive for them, then let him race in F1, regardless of his background.
But a lot of what's been said in this topic has made me think, and I believe some very valid points have been made. I'm in the process of changing my mind on this subject. If this "shortcut" to F1 happens to one or two drivers, it's no big deal, but if it sets a precedent, it's bad for F1. It could lessen F1's status as the pinnacle of motorsport.
