I hope they don't give permission. I think it is just too early. He hasn't even completed a season in F2, while never even racing in FIA F3.

For the sake of consistency they probably shouldn't grant an exception, but I would prefer if this rule didn't exist at all. Let teams take risks with young drivers, it's not like the grid would be full of 17 year olds if there wasn't an age limit.
