Well, he has had 2 years in F1 and now believes he can contribute to the association in a meaningful way.

Well done.

Well; to have the current champion not being a member would have made a mockery of the entire thing.

Was Kimi a member?

Also, I would have hoped Massa would stay with the organisation as neither Ferrari driver is a member.

IMHO all drivers should be members of the GPDA so better late than never where Lewis is concerned.

I can appreciate that but coming into F1, he probably felt he had enough on his plate and little to contribute.

I suppose the question is whether a GPDA with willing members is more effective than one with members not comitted.

I dont mind a rookie driver not needing to do it

now Lewis is a world champion and two years in the sport its time he joined

I suspect he's more concerned about the Superlicence fee than anything else.
