Paying a Driver

Whilst attending Silverstone Classic,and other events for that matter, I was supprised by the amount of Owners who pay very good money to some drivers .One "Driver",an import apparently,quite frankly ,did,nt have a clue as to how to drive a very expensive sports car.This "Star" did not notice that there was a constant stream of engine oil soaking his overalls,the only time this was noticed was when there was sufficient oil on the rear tyre to encourage a spin! 1st race. 2nd race,Retired--Engine problem!!!.So all things considered,a pretty poor return for a rather large investment.I have a problem understanding the mentallity of the Owners of these fantastic cars,do they bother checking out what their drivers have done in the past?
