Right, to leave Nicholls out would be a joke and can't see it happening this side of hell freezing over.
HOWEVER, it is wrong to say Scott would have qualified if he didn't get injured. Scott could have had 5 engine failiures in that meeting and scored 0. Or had a couple of silly exclusions or awfull rides and ended up with 4 points. There is absolutely no way you can say Scott WOULD have qualified had he not missed that round. It might have been likely he would have qualified, but that doesn't mean he would have.
