Malaysian media is going into overdrive, saying Jazeman Jaafar has got a seat with a Mercedes-engined team next year so long as he has coughs up RM63 million for the seat (around US$17m).
They are also saying he got his F1 superlicense last year in Portugal.
Now, my question is, if true, is that superlicense still valid? Doesn’t he have to hit 40 points to gain entry into F1 (which I must point out is not possible for him to do this year)?
Some clarification on this would be good. Malaysian media is pretty terrible, but this one is apparently coming out of the horses mouth itself (i.e. Jaafar is saying all this).
Thanks!
