To survive a manufacturer helps, if that manufactuer tells you who to put in the car, you do it, smile and shake hands and hope one day it improves.

Much in the same way Marco Andretti wasnt the best candidate to replace Wheldon.
Tell me the name of a team boss who refused money from outside

The problem is, AGR are not that kinda team who need to hire a pay driver in order to survive; they just do it because there is an economic interest, some more money probably coming from Honda, but that's a completely different situation from the ones we recently saw in CC
