cleanup should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I also wonder who else will follow suit, I'm thinking drivers who perhaps would struggle to raise 2 million (as usual) but might, just might, raise a million or so for 3.5?
If true, will be very interesting but is this scenario more likely to happen more often? There are quite a few quality drivers that have done 2 or more years in GP2 with possible F1 opportunities but alas, are put into the ever increasing F1 waiting room. WSR is commercially the best place for veteran GP2 drivers unless crazy wealthy, then do a Maldanado, 4th time lucky then buy your way in and push out the talent. Be great to see Bianchi and Bird in WSR, clever move.
