Many F1 fans enjoy seeing the drivers on the grid just before the start of a race, getting ready and giving last minute interviews to the likes of Martin Brundle.
However, before the start of the snore-fest that was the Bahrain… Grand Prix, nearly all of the drivers were in the pitlane or their garages, taking part in a bizarre protest.
Apparently the drivers are miffed that due to a restriction on the number of people cluttering up the place, their personal trainers/physios/umbrella holding lickspittles are not allowed to be on the grid, meaning that the poor lambs are separated from their butlers for up to 10 minutes.
Maybe these overpaid, spoilt, pampered softies ought to take a leaf out of a certain 80 year old racer’s book, who’s major annoyance at falling down a 50 ft lift shaft is that having to take it easy for a bit was proving ‘a bit of a bore’.
