I think that you are possibly a very harsh critic of Jonny Reid and his abilities behind the wheel of a car. It's no secret that he did more rounds than Halliday this past A1 GP season.
Behind the scenes, it's no secret that the team took a greater warming to him.
As a driver, he is a very personable chap. He was on TV a week ago over here on primetime TV as part of a documentary on the NZ A1 GP Team. He comes across on TV exceptionally well - similar to Craig Lowndes.
Also as a driver, he seems to be able to set-up a car, and provide decent feedback to team engineers.
Comparing Jonny Reid to David Thexton, well it doesnt create oneself the most glowing of reputations!
