David Coulthard op F1-Live.net

"What the public have to understand is that F1 is a bit like the Tour de France where there is a team leader and all the other guys are there to help him, “ he said. “Is Miguel Indurain not the great champion everyone thought he was because he had 10 other guys helping him? Would David Beckham be able to win a football match without 10 other guys on the pitch? Of course not. A driver can only win a championship with a team's support. A lot of teams put more importance on the constructors' championship rather than the drivers' championship but the driver is the name that will always be remembered. It will always be a footnote what the car was,” he said. “Maybe the teams should have to declare their contract to the public because I know people bet on F1. But the public have to understand the politics of the sport. There are a range of issues but they have been there since Juan Manuel Fangio's day when someone would stop and get out of the car and give Fangio his car to go and race.

De mensen binnen de sport lijken het beter voor elkaar te hebben dan de fans!
Is dat misschien de reden waarom we zo weinig van de piloten zelf horen? Wie gaat er voor 1.000.000 % kunnen zeggen dat zijn team geen piloot voortrekt?!
