'Let’s not beat around the bush, you’re paid a handsome sum of money to do a very, very phenomenal job...' F1
Getting into Formula 1 can be very demanding from not only a cost perspective but also a time one too with young drivers putting in hundreds of hours of practice per year from an early age.
Then there is the matter of often moving home with Europe largely still operating as the base for all things F1. Drivers like Daniel Ricciardo and Oscar Piastri made the move over from Australia and Webber was another but he said those kinds of things should not feel like a burden. The nine-time race winner described any complaints of sacrifice as an “absolute load of bull***t” and said that you are on the back foot if you think like that.
“Let’s not beat around the bush, you’re paid a handsome sum of money to do a very, very phenomenal job,” he told the“I never spoke about sacrifices. People talking about sacrifices and ‘I gave a lot up’, I think that’s an absolute load of bullshit. “Because if you want something enough and you know, these young drivers have come from Australia and [they say] ‘I have all these sacrifices’. Well, they aren’t. If it’s a sacrifice already then I think you’re on the back foot.”
