If his neck problem is signifcant I wonder what plan B will be?
If there is a plan B

?
To me this highlights a flaw in the current regs. All the teams have the resources at the track so why not allow a third car for each team on Friday, with the proviso that each team is limited to two cars on the track at any one time.
That way the lesser teams could get revenue from giving pay drivers some track time whilst designated test and reserve drivers could get track time. Teams would basically nominate a 3rd on a race by race basis and the final twist would be to nominate their two race drivers on Friday night. That would keep them all on their toes!
Any thoughts?
