Regalia has no money! But the money is, but companies were persuaded, thanks to the Gastón Mazzacane experiment, to not to invest on our drivers abroad! Thanks to all Argentine Touring Car series that extorsioned companies to loom cash flow to their own banks! All of them are guilty (Turismo Carretera, Super TC2000, Top Race V6, Turismo Nacional). That's exactly why Argentine drivers are jammed in, when many could represent us abroad! And this is a problem that is happening since 1982, exactly after Reutemann quit F1!!!
In fact, it's easier for Regalia start a TC Pista / TC2000 minor series career instead continuing in GP2, due to these dumb moves or Argentine motorsport honchos. |

But let's be honest, Regalia's attitude has been awful. He has this ugly sense of entitlement from his strong GP3 season last year, but that's all he really achieved in his career. He should be taking his lead from Abt who has had a tougher start to his GP2 career, but is grafting to improve things in the team rather than blaming them. After all, the team have rightfully pointed out that Facu has made a lot of mistakes this year.
It's lucky for him that he still is part of the Force India junior team. |

He is either lucky or on time with the payments, can't imagine FI suddenly decided to fund a junior driver

I think he was right to do this, because Abt had a number of failures last season and kept on going hoping things will improve, but they never did. At the end of the day, this is an investment made by the driver families. If one company doesn't perform, most of the time you're selling the stock without waiting for the end of the fiscal year.

But Hilmer's argument is that Facu made driving errors in 3 of the 4 weekends he drove for them. Abt's situation at ART was slightly different (on the face of it anyway); he claimed to have a terminally underpowered engine if I recall. I don't remember if they ever did change it.

Yes, both have made mistakes, but Regalia pays the bills, Hilmer doesn't pay him anything. It doesn't matter if he has crashed out in every session or not, he's entitled to require from them equal car to the others.

Regalia should have driven for Campos Racing in GP2 IMHO.
