Re: Now, this is interesting.
wow, and they say the Brits find it harder to find funding in motor racing than anyone else! Glad to see an exception to the rule here, and for what seems like a very talented young racing driver. Here's hoping their investment pays off.

Re: What If?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but what If BMW had kept Vettel after Red Bull/Toro Rosso came knocking in 2007? would he have been a double world champion yet? I'd have thought he would have got a first team drive at BMW Sauber in 2008 (alongside Kubica), and got at least one win that year....

Re: Another series you can join! but with a big twist...
Just for clarification, it's only for created drivers that overall ratings are limited for test driver roles. Any driver still in the driver market can hence be used as a reserve driver.
I should have made that clearer actually, apologies.
