I'm inclinded to agree; I am not convinced that the test driver route is the best way of securing an F1 race seat for the following season, unless one ends up with a role comparable to Paul di Resta, which is perhaps unlikely in a genuine front running team. As such, I believe a driver should be racing in order to progress and whilst I can understand that pride may deter a driver from using sponsorship money to secure a seat, it is perhaps unlikey that a compeititive seat will presnet itself on this basis.
