Possibilities this is why Webber is getting out now? Sees the writing on the wall considering his weight issues now. Interestingly they had a commentator talking about his diet on ABC radio over the weekend and Webber had made the comment that he hadn't been able to eat without restriction for many years to keep his weight right for regulations.
Probably getting deep here but I would have thought that this is a bit of discrimination. The future pool of drivers picked yes for talent but also jockey rider sizes. Where's the equality for drivers with better talent but a larger frame? I can see why this happens for GP bikes but cars also?  |
Hi Simmo,
Thanks for your observations and I enjoyed reading Paul's thoughtful post too.
There was also an article in the Sydney Morning Herald on Oct 4th by Tom Cary on the
weight issue.
Lewis Hamilton's suggestion on how he might shed some kilos is pretty drastic.
