LavidaLoca should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
back in the 90s "everybody" could set-up a F1 team and look for a rich kid to drive a F1 even for a one off appearance.

Nowadays things are different, the number of Teams is controlled and limited which is good as it keeps the investment to set-up a team and gives value to the team and makes the drive worth the money as drives available are limitied in numbers but the problem is the the Superlicence thing, most of the drivers eligible do not have the fundings to step up to F1 and the ones who have the fundings are not Eligible for Superlicence.

MAYBE F1 should drop the Super Licence system or at least make it easier to get it and introduce a sort of BOP system in order to help smaller teams to be more competitive against big manufacturers so they could get more visibility and increase chances of Prize Money ....
