A 'bullshit rule'

Posted on 16/03/2010

Driver physios were instructed not to step onto the grid on Sunday because there were too many guests. With royalty on all sides (some Arab, some Hollywood), space was
saved by expelling the trainers to their garages.

Some drivers weren’t happy and, in protest, left their cars after the installation lap and headed back to the pits.

Mark Webber was far from impressed. “It's a typical bullshit rule,” he said. “We had the King of Spain with 5,000 security guards and I can't have a physio.”
