Mr Happy should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
There has been good points raised here that it should be under financed young British drivers who should be getting the chance to drive for team GBR as that is what surtees initially said when setting up the team.

However im a pretty new fan to A1 and i think what the series desperately needs is some more established names to take it from being a 'feeder series' into a world class series of motorsport.

I'm not saying the rookies shouldn't be given the chance (i like the friday rookie session idea) its just that A1 needs to gain a reputation as being at a higher level than say GP2 to ensure its long term future.

A1 has a lot of potential to be a popular sport in the UK, it could be very appealing to the more casual motor racing fan, but I think to grow in popularity it needs to gain an image of being more top level than it currently is.
