They are all ****.

But crying about wet gloves takes the ****ing biscuit. Probably wet from wee not rain where he is soiling himself in fear.

Have you ever tried driving a formula one car, at any kind of speed, with soaked gloves? I didn't think so, nor have I, but I do have experience of what happens when sailing, and with a wind blowing, and soaked gloves, your hands freeze very very quickly, and from what I've understood the problem jenson had is that the rain was running down inside his gloves.

As to drivers pay, and only working 19 weekends a year, its true, they only race for 19 weekends a year, the rest of the time, they spend doing a lot of other things, they're not just sat on their arses.

yeah but since when have we been anything like F1 drivers.

The true greats never minded some rain.

Oh boohoo wet and cold hands. Of course they never got wet in the 70's 80's and 90's.

My point with the pay is they get paid for doing a dangerous job that isn't a dangerous job anymore. The marshalls should get paid more than the drivers in their bullet proof tubs.

If Charlie lets them race, anyone who thinks it's too dangerous can do a Prost and pull off the track.

Yeah, should let them choose, you can drive, get the points and potentially smash your car up. Or you can get on a plane and head back to your holiday homes ... your choice :p
