    You should read up on super license

    I actually held an FIA license, though not a Super license for a hand full of years. Let it lapse.

    Do you have a source for that?

    Logic. You don’t spend money on a hundred million dollar car so a rookie can put it into a wall without the ability to make hundreds of millions more in return.

    Except for 40% more HP…

    You’d be amazed what little difference that makes. Used to know a guy that raced a Formula Ford and a CanAm car on a race weekend. He switched between them like there was no difference

    You clearly do as evidence by your responses

    I find this tedious.

      So you don’t know about the requirements for a superlicense, that was all ready evident.

      Logic. You don’t spend money on a hundred million dollar car so a rookie can put it into a wall without the ability to make hundreds of millions more in return.

      So no evidence to support that claim, add to that the young drivers tests since they were enacted have used the the car from the season that just ended.

      So you heard from a friend … Guess we know why your racing career didn’t progress, you can’t feel the difference in a huge power increase.
