Pedro de la Rosa has been named as the chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers Association, replacing Ralf Schumacher.

Not that it’s a particularly powerful body or anything but it does lobby in response to certain situations. It’s interesting that the directors under him will be Alonso and Webber. All three are huge Alonso fans and none of them have much time for Lewis or Kimi neither of whom are even in the GPDA.

I wonder if this will cause trouble if there is a racing incident.
