F1 driver VS F1 team principal
Well so imagine you've been given the chance to either be the top f1 driver or the top f1 team principal... which would you take...
both get tons of money, both seem to get ridiculously hot girl friends and both get to be in the sport they love... I would personally choose to be a driver simply for the adrenaline rush of being on the top step of the podium... although being a team boss wouldnt be all that bad... ordering Alonso or MS on what to do next during the race or telling Fisi to effing hurry up  certainly appeals to me...also trading drivers like poker chips has got it's perks.... what about you guys |

If I happened to be a multi-millionaire, with nothing better to do than spend my time here (as opposed to not being a mult-millionaire, but with nothing better to do,
), then there would no advertising on this site.As things stand, having something better to do (i.e. winning WDCs) means it remains .Of course, if we all choose to be the top F1 driver, then that means were of equal ability. That could mean we end up all being pay drivers, as the teams don't have any need to entice us with salaries. |

Definitely the driver. Just the thrill of driving those things. As opposed to a team principal, where it is all organisation, organisation, politics and money. A driver should be (not necessarily is) just down to fitness, diet, PR, georgeous women and DRIVING!
No comparison really! |

The driver gets to relax from the tension for a while when he's driving the car. He's having fun to some extent.
Whereas team principals are stressed out all the way. Definitely best to be a driver. |

Although as engineer you have the power to screw with Fisi's car just for a laugh...

Ok, I'm not very ambitious...
So, Bernie Ecclestone's position would do. |

Well, if we are moving beyond the realms of the original question, then I would find it pretty interesting to be in Max's shoes.
