Number4 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

2014 11th
2015 10th
2016 1st

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.

If Jimmy Johnson wanted to race in F1 and a team wanted him I'm sure this would be easily resolved. Probably with some outrage on the internet, but I suspect it wouldn't be a problem.

I just came across this quite interesting article of whether a NASCAR driver could make it to F1, regarding the new license rules.
https://www.frontstretch.com/2017/09...-to-formula-1/
Basically, the same odds as coming across some unicorn droppings.

I do wish JYS had signed up Jeff Gordon. It could have revolutionised F1 in the States.

What about the driver who scrimps and saves but is fast makes it to F2, gets a load of poles and leads half the races but has a car that breaks down a lot leaving him with poor results, and then the money runs out.

I suspect they can get round it.

For good cases I'm for this being used as a guide. However this rules out those less worthy cases. Which is what people were whinging about. And why we now have this rule. People wanted a clear rule and that's what we got.

In order to qualify for their initial 'FP1 licence', drivers will have had to contest six F2 races or accumulated 25 superlicence points

Drivers reapplying must either have completed a full season in F2 or gained 25 superlicence points
Makes sense.

I didn’t think it was much of a problem to begin with, so hopefully these rules won’t be too much of a problem
