Both boys needed a second season in FBMW. if Greg had done well he could have justified a seat in British F3.
By keeping them in the 'limelight' he can use the name to generate sponsorship to partially fund it but would be better (IMHO) to put them into national class (yr old ) F3 for a year so they don't look like a mess then if they have the talent promote them up a class. It is all too quick and like many wealthy young men following in their fathers footsteps they may no be 'hungry' enough.
Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill battled with finances, not so Greg and Leo.
Piquet junior did his apprenticeship in karts as did Nico Rosberg, the mansell boys haven't served a drivers apprenticeship and that is the difference between success and failure. Even Bruno Senna did karts as a kid and in his early teens before giving it up to concentrate on education etc.They (the Mansell boys) will only succeed if massively talented....
