There is currently no driver qualified to sit in the A1GP car except for Alex, Fairuz and Aaron. There is then a substantial age gap(6 years) in the driver pool before we get to Jazeman.

Therefore saying that Jazeman may replace Aaron, given time, is the logical conclusion. Though the hope of course is that he will more than just replace Aaron. Jazeman still needs to get into higher formulae before he can be considered for A1GP rookie.

However credit is due to Aaron Lim. He hasn't been exactly slow in the Friday rookie sessions despite most of his practice time spent running routine tasks for the team leaving few laps to actually push for lap times. He is also experienced enough to give good technical input back to the team.

And we cannot deny what he did at Sentul FV6 Asia last year. Jumped in a back end team driving a car he had never raced with, and WON on merit.

Jazeman unlike Aaron is fortunate that he has the financial support to back up his driving abilities. There are plenty of 'Aarons' out there - good ability but no chance to prove it.
