Hamilton has said Schumacher would have been able to do it last year. In terms of experience drivers would need experience in a respected junior series, so GP2, F2, World Series by Reanult or F3 Euroseries. So it's not all about making money, you couldn't do it if you'd just won the lottery and fancied driving an F1 car. I think what Hamilton's doing is basically the same as what Stefan GP plan to do, except Stefan will be doing it to develop the car as well. GP Prep would solely be about giving drivers seat time in an F1 car. There's no age limit. Hamilton has said Schumacher would have been able to do it last year.

Or a need for experience in lower formulae? Or is this just a money-making opportunity offering a test to anyone who wants to drive a recent F1 car and is rich enough to do it? I prefer the idea behind Stefan GP being that the current F1 teams say "take a look at this chap for us" and foot the bill (if i've understood it correctly).
