You mean drivers license, not rally license?

Yes, but unlike Petter was able to finish the rally within the 48 hours you still have to drive

i thought there were some european laws impeding that from happening. weird. liberty did a really good job with f1, cannot deny that. the racing in f1 is shitty because of fia tho. motogp has the best road racing on the planet. liberty will have the greatest product ever on their hands.

What?

How is FIA guilty of RB building a good car and signing the best driver? And I'm not saying that RB is the best car - take away Max and replace him with anyone and we would have an awesome series.

Since Liberty Media bought Dorna (MotoGP), WSBK is in their hands as well.

I wonder, has FIA or whoever makes the rules in WRC, thought about a Formula 1 like solution where if you win manufacture title, then you get less development time. For example Ford could have 1.5 times of everything (testing, jokers). This would maybe help to bridge the gap or at least give an opportunity to make the team more competitive.

i meant drs. fia's people watched too many motogp racing in 2010 and started with that "we need more overtakes" thrend that took over motorsport. i honestly dont understand how a ferrari holding an already faster redbull (or mercedes back in lewis dominance) for 10 laps on track is less exciting than that already faster redbull passing an already 'slower' ferrari in one straight without a fight. same for when lewis was winning races starting from the back of the grid. it was already the fastest car, but nobody had a chance to fight and hold him because of drs. thats what i meant.
