Oh it's not the amount, but yet more hassle, something else to have petty fogging bureaucracy over. Something else to apply for. Something else to forget. More work for the backroom team at signing on.
The stock answer is always "oh compared to the cost of a season it's nothing." you're right, it's not, but it's salami tactics in reverse. Always something else to pay for before you even set foot on a race track.
It's such an unimaginative, bossy, meddling way of dealing with the situation. There are rules there already, why not enforce what there are?
F'r instance, Little Johnny's dad is abusive so gets his licence revoked. LJ now runs under someone else's licence, dad still turns up and is abusive but now there's no sanction because he's lost his licence anyway! How's that going to improve the situation then?
What's worse is it probably means we will now get FOUR copies of that blessed MSA magazine with its attendant spam inserts!
