Diluted F1 driver talent

[F1Pete]

I really hate it when a guy gets an F1 drive because with him comes sponsorship money. It's too bad the grid ends up with drivers who really don't deserve to be there. This really endangers other drivers and not to mention the poor driver himself. Also, it gives me a sense of F1 displaying at atmosphere of "ungreatness". It is said that F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport. You need to be great just to get a test drive, but that isn't the case.

I remember a long time ago watching the Indy 500. Well, if you had the money, you were allowed to race. Well, this one guy who never raced before at Indy almost killed himself and put other experienced drivers at serious risk. Any of you people who have ever watched a race at the Brickyard knows what danger is all about.

It's too bad there are teams that hard up for money that they bring on someone with the cash. The teams just take the money for development and hope for the best. Is this right???
