Yes, but there's a reason why NASCAR drivers aren't in Europe. There are different mind-sets in motorsport when you cross the pond. Not wishing to offend anyone, but certain aspects of American motorsport culture (certain aspects which have been heavily scrutinised since the Tony Stewart incident) would result in a lengthy ban over here. Frankly, if you needlessly increase the danger aspect, as Buxton mentions, then why should you be allowed to constantly put other drivers in more danger? The simple answer is that you shouldn't.

Penalties, bans, it's all okay. Declaring him as the worst driver in the history of motorsport, is too much.

GP2 will introduce DRS for 2015. It was time that GP2 bosses updated the cars. Young drivers need to learn how to overtake rivals by pressing a button.

I think DRS is good, because it will shake up the order. The current car spec has been too stable and some teams have an advantage with it.

On one hand F1 and FR3.5 have it so GP2 ought to for driver continuity etc, but on the other it is a massive shame that the cars/rules have been designed in a way that we have to resort to this sort of thing to rejuvenate the spectacle in the first place! Remember when GP2 started? The pure racing was sensational.... |

Interesting reading from Pierre Gasly on how Caterham gp2 proceeds with its drivers.
At Monza he was running with 2 races old brakes as they were not willing to change brakes. They only changed them for race 2 when pierre learned them that Arden and Dams were running with new brakes each week-end at Monza . http://www.meca-web.fr/interview-pie...-arden-en-3-5/ It might explain why they are killing tyres and low performances from haryanto and rossi. |

This is nothing new. Top teams life limit their parts, smaller teams don't
