- Race integrity, having a guy race that has no incentive to actually perform
- Constructors championship, potentially losing points via having a forced driver in the second car.
- The other driver now not being able to run.
That's just a few issues here.

He's got every incentive to perform?
They're not "being forced" to have a driver, they signed the driver up and then reneged on the deal because they saw bigger sponsorship available.
Apparently the nature of the contracts with Nasr and Erickson are that neither will be breached if they're benched.
