Another factor which Jackson Racing employed in order to soothe Luca in these last months of his contract conclusion was to also disaffirm Rodnick's proposal to deny Luca access to the JRX-97 in Spain.
Since the FRC was terribly damaged, diagnosis claimed that it wouldn't be ready well enough for the Spanish Grand Prix, meaning Rodnick would not be a super driver in that race, his advantage stripped away from him by Luca and not only just his race.
Since Rodnick would be unable to pilot the FRC, that left the 97 to be assigned to him. However, since the 97 was now Luca's chassis, this caused a slight issue for Jackson.
But there was no problem since there were two JRX-97s, right? Nope, there were still issues to address because Rodnick did not want to be on the same engineering degree with Luca.
