Dunno about that. Pretty sure his money kept Marussia alive far longer than it would have done without him which was nice. Also he may have been slow but he hardly ever got into incidents and I'm pretty sure he upset Vettel a couple of times which is cool and good.

Tiago Monteiro triumphantly foisting that trophy up in the air as Rubens and Michael walk off completely embarrassed.

Karthikeyan racing to whatever he finished in in the team that was Jordan but wasn't Jordan since Eddie had sold it by then with Christjian "My "tooth" mysteriously aches just before races on two occasions now and thankfully Kolles, my team boss, is a former dentist or whatever and helped me by injecting something directly into my scrotum for an extra tenth a lap" Albers...

The market is correcting itself. Gambles on ultra youngos is proving to not pay off for other teams. See: Stroll, Lance.

I still remember in 2006 when Lewis was announced for '07 and people lost their loving minds about how he was way too young at the ancient age of 22/23. I was one of them. I wanted Alonso/de la Rosa.

And it’s easy to see how awkward it is for Ferrari and McLaren to try and find competitive seats in other series (or occasionally at smaller F1 teams) so they don’t lose their younger academy drivers. Of course Ferrari could easily solve that by getting rid of Kimi.

If we are talking about bad pay drivers, remeber that time Frankie Muniz blew all of his Malcom in the middle money buying his way into champ car, only to be average at best, and now he has to do stuff like Hot Bath an' a Stiff Drink 2, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, and dancing with the stars to pay the bills.
