Drugovich believes the F2 champion should be allowed to return to the series if there are no F1 seats available, but the series' boss disagrees.
The MP Motorsport driver was crowned champion after the sprint race at Monza on Saturday, but has been unable to secure an F1 race seat for 2023.
Drugovich believes the series should follow Moto2 and Moto3's footsteps and allow the winner to return if they are unable to secure an F1 seat to avoid them sitting on the sidelines as 2021 F2 champion Oscar Piastri did. "I think it's kind of how it works in Moto2 and Moto3. I think first of all, what needs to change is whoever wins the championship needs to get a go in F1.
"But as I said, if I need to race something else other than F1 next year, it's for sure a category to consider."But series CEO Bruno Michel disagrees and believes the series must retain its"up or out" model.He said:"I didn't know he said that but I disagree with it. I think it's a pyramid, and you have to have a system where at some point it has to be up or out.
