I have to admit that I'm rather worried about how important sponsorship money has become in Formula 1. Good drivers are being tossed aside to place unproven, and maybe even mediocre drivers that have a truckload of sponsorship. This is detrimental to the quality of the sport, especially since it happens mostly in the middle-to-low teams, where drivers grow and scale up the proficiency and team ladders.

What's your opinion on this subject? What could be done to prevent this tendency? Budget caps? Get rid of Bernie once and for all? Otherwise, Formula 1 will become a racing auction, where only the highest bidder gets to race.

It's a sad commentary but that's the way it is at the moment. I think when enough teams are bitten in the @ss by taking pay drivers over talented ones it will all even out in the end.

Heikki and Kobayashi without a seat would be terribly unfair. They've had their chances though, so can't really blame the F1 gods......

Alguersuari to Force India and Sutil to Williams? would be nice.

Even DC was taking the piss out of Montoya in quali coverage today. :hehe:
