So another driver is moaning about backmarkers during a race - in this case it was Mika Hakkinen having a whinge, stating that something 'must be done'.
Although yes, backmarkers can hinder the leaders of a race, what they seem to forget is that those very same backmarkers are in the race too. The grid doesn't stop after the 'Big 4' - McLaren, Ferrari, Williams and Jordan - there's another 7 teams racing too. The top guys seem to forget this fact and have little respect for the drivers who go out there every other weekend in inferior cars (or with inferior engines GO MINARDI
) and drive their socks off to get the best result they can. Just because you don't get a top 6 finish doesn't mean you drove any less of a race than the winner.
It's time to champion the rest of the grid, not just the guys lucky enough to be in quick cars.
GO MINARDI/SAUBER/ARROWS/BENETTON/BAR/PROST/JAGUAR!!!!!!!!!!!
