Read this interesting article that mentioned how F1 strict regulations quite possibly led to red bull drop lian after two races
 He wasnt able to do critical practice sessions reserved for drivers with less then 2 starts  Sad

Liam being dropped was a team decision and shouldn't be on the regulations passed by the FIA.
That just makes the situation of him being replaced after just two races seem that much stranger then it should.
Red Bull accepting an injection of even more cash by a sponsor so to have the only Japanese driver on the F1 circuit to drive in Japan sounded weird to begin with.
And wouldn't sound against the rules in another sport, but this is F1.
Where money means everything and so can move around if those rules are not outlined properly.

An example being?Huh
Like the Turkish driver Cem Bolukbasi.

He started his career in F1 e-sports and later on he became a real-world racer. After some time he even got a seat in F2 and raced for Charouz Racing System.
He isn't in F2 anymore. Continued his career with Super Formula and Le Mans series. But long story short, he is the first person from his nation to make such change.
This was cool to post about since F1 25 by EA just released their trailer for their game a few days ago. To be released in June.
Most of trailer had Lewis Hamilton so the storyline most likely will revolve around him and your own driver competing directly with him. Since he was the biggest story in F1 last season so they decided to make him the main opponent of your racing career in the game.
