Its actually Lewis that pays for the seat I believe.

Also, dont forget that Nic has muscle problems (not sure what exactly) so for him to even be able to race is great! Dont kncok the kid!

He has Cerebral Palsy, has had a lot of operations just to enable him to walk and in my opinion presents a danger to himself and other drivers. Being good on a playstation doesn't automatically mean that you are good on circuit, or, can cope with the pressures.

As I'm not a qualified Doctor I'm not fully qualified to make a judgement on Nicholas, but given that a racing licence requires a thorough medical I would expect that he doesn't present any danger to himself or other drivers as that would disqualify him from getting a licence

Indeed. Disabilities present in different ways for different people, and clearly Nic has satisfied doctors and insurers (the latter probably more risk adverse!) that he is safe to drive. As far as I know, none of his rivals have expressed any concerns.

I took my friend with Cerebral Palsy karting once. He crashed and somehow broke his leg. Due to his condition the bones take longer to heal, so over 12 months on he is still on crutches.

I see he's in a Supercopa car now instead. At this rate of downgrading he'll be racing a peddle car round my back garden!

It would be good to see lewis's brother drive with the big boys, but i suppose time will tell!

After two years relatively incident free (certainly no worse than your average Clio Cup driver) Nic has not even come close to gaining the 'dangerous' reputation that his brother has sometimes had, in fact, as someone with a disability, he probably has to undergo a much stricter set of tests in order to get his license. 'Danger to himself and other drivers'? Not even close, certainly not to the same degree as a number of other drivers on grids around the world every weekend.

this would seem the more educated option!!

What is the more educated option? Did you mean opinion. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, wether it's right or wrong, educated or not.
