neilap should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
How are these drivers judged? The coverage that I get on Speed rarely shows anything but the red cars. I know the technical staff is able to see where he brakes and all of the details of his driving. Is this the information that is given to other teams looking for a driver? For example. If Ferrari wanted Massa, would they use his data to compare to MS and see if his skills measure up? After all that is probably the best way to draw a conclusion. Sure, the difference in equipment has to be taken into consideration. The reason I say this is, some drivers get so much hype but I never see them in a battle. RS get really high props as one of the best however it seems to me he brakes earlier and gets on the gas later than any driver I have ever seen an onboard lap with.
Maybe these are the things that are affecting Nick. He may be fast but the data may say he should be faster.
