Isn't it nice how the FIA conveniently
Steamrolls over its past transgressions by fostering new ones? Case-in-point;
BAD Pun intended! Was the recent fervor over the FIA's new F1 Superlicense
policy, which at the very least seems pretty flawed. Y'all know, what'll
affectionately be forever known as "The Max Verstappen rule."
And Grizzled Journo' Joe Saward has rightly
pointed out the absurdity over the FIA's preferential points allowance, most incredulously
towards the yet created F2 championship, which hopefully will last longer than
its previous version did. (2010-12) While higher horsepower categories such as
Formula Renault 3.5 for example are rewarded less points than this mythical F2
championship dolls out; go figure?
While lastly, longtime ex-McLaren F1
Test/Reserve "Simulator Jockey" Gary Paffett, the 2005 DTM champion
correctly points out how DTM has been completely overlooked in the new Superlicense
business, as another ex-DTM champion named Paul di Resta immediately sprang to
mind when ponderin' German Touring Car champions to graduate to Formula 1. As
Y'all recall di Resta's short lived stint at Force India, right?
As Paffett clearly denotes how both drivers
would have been excluded from F1 if using the new Superlicense criteria, which
is pretty sad, since clearly Formula 1 needs more (qualified) drivers, and
teams at the moment!
