I couldn't agree more! It's bugged me for a season and a half that he has not been given a chance.
Apparently he won't get to drive the car until the Rookie session in Sentul - don't ask me why - but he will need all the seat time he can get. As you say, I don't think he's driven much at all for the last couple of years, apart from an occasional test for BAR Honda, as it was then, and the wild ride across the salt flats at a fraction under 400 km/h this summer in the Honda.
He did test the A1GP car at Silverstone, but was only given a couple of short runs as far as I could see.
