I think y'all have a different definition for career drivers than I do. I thought you were talking about guys that just race in lower series for their whole racing life for fun and because they're good at it, but can't go any higher due to lack of finances. I really hate the impression some people have that guys that know they can't get to F1 shouldn't bother and that Formula X is only meant for 17-year-olds with rich daddies.
If you mean "career" drivers as in guys that are there because they have more money than talent, I hate ride buying snots as much as the next guy.
