Dang, so I am the only one at this party.

They have a test and reserve driver so I don't know why there was ever any question about him. If I were hired as the test and reserve driver then I would expect to get the seat. I wouldn't want to do my duties with the fear that I might not get reserve duty hanging over my head.

A good test driver doesn't necessarily use the same skill set as a race driver - see, e.g., AW, a great test driver and a lesser race driver. So, your logic with respect to causality is flawed I'm afraid.

I'm not 6, you don't need to explain that stuff. I said he's the test and RESERVE driver. He's perfectly qualified to race. Ferrari obviously feels he can race. DC was given Senna's seat and Sir Frank said it was only logical since he was the reserve driver. No one else was considered. Mansell's one offs were just for show(although Nigel did see it as an audition for 95 and tried to Psychologically keep DC down). We all know that any driver who takes a test role does so because he wants to race and probably wasn't offered any race drive and this is better than nothing and maybe I can impress someone etc.
If the is driver is just a TEST driver then there's alot less entitlement, yes, but Badoer is the RESERVE driver.
I know you're not 6 and you didn't need this told to you.

Evidence?

none.

So until the day comes i still believe that anyone can do it.
Gosh why don't they bring Alonso in? Are they so stupid? Badoer hasn't even grabbed a 8th place? To say there so 'Great' I'm a little ashamed to say i am a fan right now.

Luca Badoer has had three eighth-place finishes and one seventh-place finish.

Really.... My appoligies....but still, Alonso 2 titles

And contracted by Renault.

[Jamie]

3 mill a race for him.
They will make half back on what they pay him.

[Denthúl]

Of course, they would then have to try paying off one of their other drivers, neither of which would accept. They couldn't do it.

[texasmr2]

It is not going to happen.

To what post are you replying?
And yeah as soon as we heard of the Renault ban I thought Alonso would be available and maybe a decent chioce considering he's to drive for them in the future anyway. I didn't even think of MS figuring he's retired and wouldn't be interested. Oh well I guess the contract stuff was too complicated. Renault might not like their driver going out and getting Ferrari constructor points.

Alonso should drive the safety car.

Well, it's better than the R29...
