It's not a case of 'being soft' - more being logical that he's 22(!), has a lot of life ahead of him and not risking a second, potentially life-altering knock, would be a needless risk.

Re. Sauber, they've been calamitous in recent seasons, but they were pretty darn respectable in 2001-04, as a BMW works team and in Checo's hands in '12.

Plenty there, you'd imagine, to recover into a Force India challenger, surely.

Plus, with new F1 owners, you imagine the worst of times for independents is over. So by simply 'hanging in there' over the last few mediocre years, will allow them to have a stronger future - they should be applauded for that.
Got all of that... so what doesn't the team grow a pair, and share just that?
