Reading this and considering the events in Malaysia I tried to recall who the last No.2 driver was that was content with his role. Being the apprentice seems to be of no value to the folks behind the wheel anymore. I think Perez is closest to fitting this picture. Though I doubt there will be any statement from him or the team saying so.
Moreover I don't see anyone at the moment who is willing to be a mentor like Stewart was to Cevert. Although, of course I don't know what goes on behind the scenes. It just seems to be bad business today to be or have a No.2 driver.
I guess what I'm saying is that some of the guys in and out of the cars should relax a little bit and stop pretending they're all these uptight success machines all the time. Good sport can make the headlines aswell. And sponsors love headlines...

I wish Hamilton would pop up in the BTCC, Fernando in a GP2 race, etc, like in those days.

Screw you, commercialism.

Yeah, let's cut the the amount of races down to 12 to 14 per year and let the guys enter in other categories. That'd be fun to see I think. And you could see which of the drivers from the feeder series really have talent.

(No trolling intended )

interesting idea..instead of more F1 races..have fewer,,cut their insane salaries so that they have to pick up other rides to pay the bills...I like it. =D>
