In reply to Bullfrog. @bullfrog Currently, winning the F3 championship awards 30 super license points (out of 40 needed), so while you couldn't go straight from one season of F3 to F1, if you finished 5th or higher, or have experience in another championship from the previous 2 years (such as GB3 or Formula Regional etc), the they would be capable of progressing to F1. However, I think it reflects pretty badly on the system that the driver it was brought in as a response to is now a 3 time world champion...

I think Marko has been talent spotting.
He almost let the secret slip with the Perez/South American thing.

Must have some good financial backing behind him.

Poor feeder series results, am I missing something? Seems very unimpressive considering

It's the ones who go straight from F3 to F1 who are worth watching. A few decent examples over the years…hope that sort of thing hasn't been banned by the officious superlicence police.

Results… Statistics… Driver performance…
OK. Doesn't matter ?

He's got negative progression from a low to even lower position in the (low) championship, so it totally makes sense that he should skip a step or two; I'm convinced. I suppose the idea is to stay in F2 for a few years, to be one of those guys who treat it like a senior championship; those drivers that we never see on screen (except when they cause a collision or something). Maybe I'm missing something... Must be some nice sponsorship deal.
