maybe look at it from the other angle - if you were grubmuller snr and you'd had hartley test and do a good job, would you see it as a wise investment to offer him a cut price deal to drive alongside grubmuller jnr? and if you were hartley and his management would you take that rather than pay whatever extortionate amount a gp2 drive would be with a mid-grid team on the off chance you catch art/lotus and the other front runners with their pants down?
