There are 50 chartered (works) drivers in the Nascar series who run about 36 races in a year. To say someone finishing 10th against the talent NASCAR contains is unfit to race in F1 is just a bad joke. To say someone who has participated in 36 NASCAR races is unfit for F1 is a joke.
To exclude Johnson who has participated in 571 races with 83 wins over 17 years and has won 7 titles is not qualified for F1 just shows the points system is utter rubbish!
A simple letter from any of the sanctioning bodies should be more than enough.

You just hit the nail on the head.
I find the idea very entertaining that a spoilt little boy in an F3 car is twice the driver that a NASCAR Cup Champion is.
I rather imagine that in fact it is the other way around.
