That's a nice gesture... but that's ****ed up to Rossi. I mean, why even have a reserve driver?!

I think if it wasn't a back to back weekend, then Rossi would probably have a drive.

Given the circumstances, I don't think it's that terrible. Yes, I'm sure Rossi would love to jump in. But I doubt he's fully prepared to drive. Especially at a new track. And definitely not a lot of notice to get ready.

He will for sure be in the car at Austin though.

As a reserve driver Rossi should always be ready to drive. This is also a new track for everyone too.

He's the reserve driver for a reason!!

He's getting some practice in the car already. Your argument would have drivers waiting years to get into a seat.

I can go either way on that, I understand what they are doing and I want Rossi to drive.

Lewis - 9 wins vs. Nico's 4 with 3 races left. Pretty clear who should be champion

not to mention having 3 DNFs and having to start at or near the back of the pack 3 times and came all the way back to podium each time. If he takes the championship you cant say he didnt earn it.

I agree. His last few radio transmissions sounded like the fight had left him.
