    feel like it must obviously be that the car is wrecked rather than Lance is hurt. Why wouldn’t you put a reserve in the seat if you could?

      I think it’s because the reserve would need to qualify in order to be allowed to race. I read elsewhere that the reason is that Lance was physically affected by the crash. He’ll race in Japan tho.

      A driver may only participate in the race if they participated in at least one practice session.

      Reserve driver only for the race who didn’t even have one practice session isn’t much use, they’d just smash into the wall anyway.

      Besides their reserve driver is Drugovich who never raced in Singapore, or they could borrow Mick Sch who crashed there a few times iirc.
