I hear you, and I agree to a point. However in that scenario, if you are the test driver, it stands to reason that if one of the race drivers has an issue, the test driver should step up - that's how it has worked in countless other similar situations in the past. I guess it wasn't a surprise that Suzi announced her retirement soon after this occurrence.
