its just my opi ion.no need to get nasty.i suppose 100k a week to kick a ball around a field is fair.im just makin the point that some sportspeople dont get the money they deserve.rugby players for example.proffesional cyclists for example

No dispute on that but your first point was that motor stars were not paid enough. Sport is a business now and those that bring in the money get paid more. Soccer will pay its players more coz it has it to pay. Life isn't always fair....

Personally, I'd do Michael, Jenson, Jarno, Lewis, and possibly, Rubens, (not to mention a wee flickitty at Eddie Jordan)for free .... Doesn't Hockenheimring sound like something interesting to do???
