The thing you are forgetting is that Benneton/Minardi's franchise doesn't take effect until the 2017 season because of the payola controversy in the "Apple Computers-Wannabe" (formerly known as the Busch, Dunkin, Donuts, Wal-Mart, MC Sports, then NAPA) Series from 2009. By then JG Jr will be 10 and as tall as his daddy. His personal performance contract with Gerber will be ending. It is a perfect and logical fit. Get your facts staight!
