F1 » F1 drivers are not 'real men' anymore, rues Webber
"Red Bull Racing star Mark Webber - who has recently set up his own GP3 Series team with Christian Horner - contends that F1 cars are now so easy to drive that competitors who used to be gladiators are no longer 'real men'...
"...Webber went on, finally, to defend his former manager Flavio Briatore, the divisive ex-Renault F1 managing director whose reputation has perhaps been forever sullied by the infamous 'Singapore-gate' race-fixing scandal, regardless of the overturning of the Italian's lifetime ban by the French High Court earlier this year.
“You know, we have some stale individuals in this paddock,” the man from Queanbeyan reasoned. “Flavio was a character, flamboyant. You need those types in every sport – the José Mourinhos of this world.”
