Interesting assertion. "Most drivers in the 50's and 60's payed their drives."

I just read in this months F1 Racing that Sauber-Mercedes paid for Schumacher's drive and Merecedes only paid for a third of it, the rest was directly from Sauber. Originally Posted by BeansBeansBeans

I wonder how many "pay drivers" went on to eventually become WDC? Lauda and Schumacher are the two I know of. (According to the definition we are using of "pay drivers")

I have also seen a claim by Peter Sauber that he paid the fee. History is a funny thing, isn't it? Originally Posted by Mikeall

the buy in may be a little in the front end - i would not consider MS a pay driver in the slightest. I guess tiago and some dutch guys are. yoong i believe was as pay driver. I don't mind a pay driver too much if they can kick some ass but most are lame at best

Most of them? However, this is not the same as a "payed driver." Originally Posted by jso1985

Taki Inoue missed out on a Minardi drive in 1996 because his Yen didn't appear. Shame, I would have liked to see more comedy.
