I suspect a large part of this is... if we want to keep Alonso... we have to let him do stuff like this. I would be shocked if this level of freedom was not part of his agreement to stay for 2018.
I don't disagree that Zak Brown might be predisposed to allow it as well. I hope it sets the right tone with other teams. Personally I think it can only help F1 in that as drivers participate in other formulas, they may carry fans of those series (who otherwise might not be F1 fans) back into F1.
