Worst Racing Driver

The fact that Marlboro latched onto him early in that F3 season and gave him rather a large sum has nothing to do with his subsequent progression of course. It's interesting to note that the champion that year, Marc Hynes, was sponsored by Lyon's Maid icecream, and never progressed beyond F3. He's now racing for Team LNT in a Panoz in the LMS championship. Money has everything to do with success in racing. If you can't buy your way up after F3, you go nowhere

Well, money should latch on to talent, it'd be ridiculous otherwise. But if JB attracted sponsors, he did so from talent, which is fair enough. The fact that JB has only weon one GP, is down to his management team. I reckon JB's is the most mismanaged driver career I've ever seen.

Of course, another driver from even more humble beginnings, and with no money whatsoever, is Michael himself...
