    I have said this many times in the past: Jason Plato is the best British Driver never to drive in F1. He was another Mansell in the making.👍🏻

      If only F1 was about talent instead of how much money you are bringing
      Edited to add.. actually those offs he had on earlier laps would have possibly killed him in real life but certainly would have killed the car and would have stopped him getting to the faster lap.
      Would like to see Plato on iracing

    I don’t think JP should feel bitter about his experience/test drive with Frank Williams back and in the day, (Late brake show with Jonny interview). P.s it doesn’t come across as he is bitter.
    I certainly don’t think I’d love him as much as i do if he’d become an f1 driver.
