No. But I guess the lure of a nine figure payout is strong.
As for drivers complaining about only making £2m/month before sponsorship money, I've got a very small violin they can borrow.

If that's true I'm glad to hear that they've got strong morals. Although I'm sure it helps that they're both millionaires (suggestion is that Woods is already a billionaire) and wouldn't need to work another day of their lives if they didn't want to.dinny_g wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 8:53 pmTrue but plenty have said no, including McIlroy and Tiger who rumours suggest, was offered 10 figures…DeskJockey wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 3:00 pmNo. But I guess the lure of a nine figure payout is strong.
Ah, but are they all supercars?
the reality is, that every one of them would still do it if it paid a sausage roll and a can of Fanta per race, but I get the point - why should everyone else get rich off the sport if they're the talent. It's business.
Nope, he made comments about Mansell's wife when they were team mates and he called Senna "a Sao Paulo taxi driver".
Apparently it has two meanings depending on context. One is a term of affection I believe, if used in the familial/friendship way and the other is racist. Given that he's not pals with LH one can therefore deduce he's just a racist cunt.John wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 9:25 am Piquet has always been a dickhead and it seems that he hasn’t changed at all.

That's not to excuse his use - it was a clarification of the meaning of the word. I don't think he's at any point suggested he meant it in the friendly sense. It's been inferred by others that, as it has two meanings that are contextual, he can only have meant it as a racist term.

Old guy from another era uses an inappropriate word in today's world and is absolutely crucified. Happens a lot these days, years of career built up and the media destroy them. See Phil Nicholson in golf.
Other than that I've no other comment.
