Help the Aged warn of current F1 trend

With F1 drivers, Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello and Pedro de la Rosa having a combined age that nearly matches that of Bernie Ecclestone, the old folk’s charity, Help the Aged, have warned that measures need to be in place to… look after senior drivers.

Spokesman, Andrew Davies, said that while it was good to see the elderly put to good use there has to be allowances for them. Mr Davies said; “The F1 paddock is going to have to get used to having people around who cannot decide where to park, assuming they found their car keys in the first place, queues at the paddock turnstile while they fumble in a bag for their pass and the conversation on the drivers parade will switch from supermodels and yachts to the weather and how much more expensive everything is these days”.

Measures being considered include a stairlift up to the podium, fur-lined, zip up Sparco race shoes and longer pit stops for drivers needing a nap during races.
