I'm glad to see BH back in a Sports Car. The guy is clearly very quick and a racer, so I was puzzled when he made the move Flop 1 doing catch up at the back of the grid. I think it's sad that so many people consider Flop 1 the top of the pile.In my opinion it doesn't even compare with the WEC.

Not even in the same league

He's a nice guy too, was talking to him during the "snow delay" at Silverstone a few years back.

No doubt he's quick but he can also be a little bit ragged, as he proved during the same weekend

you may prefer WEC but there is no racing driver in the world who doesn't want to race F1

you may prefer WEC but there is no racing driver in the world who doesn't want the money that only comes from racing in F1

I guess if money's the goal then you're right. It's amazing what we all prostitute ourselves for.

Prostitution's a bit strong, this IS his job remember. While his Porsche LMP1 drive probably paid quite well I bet he got more at Torro Rosso than he did at Porsche - and a hell of a lot more than he'll be getting driving for SMP.

If someone offered you more money to work for a different company in the same industry doing more or less the same job you do now but with better promotion prospects would you say no?

so he's got SMP in WEC, Porsche Works status - even when @ Torro Rosso - and Ferrari F1 simulator work.....
quite a few people out there rate him?

Yes, I probably would say no

1. Because I've never been employed
2. Because I very rarely make decision based on money, I make decision based on my time, interests and loyalties.

Hey were all different, each to his own.
