Heidfeld hasn't paid for 2009 Superlicence

Fri, 20 Feb 00:06:01 2009

German driver Nick Heidfeld on Thursday insisted he is not among the three drivers who have reportedly already paid for their mandatory 2009 Superlicences.

Amid the Grand Prix Drivers Association's standoff with the governing FIA, it emerged that three of this season's confirmed 18 drivers ignored the request to hold off paying the controversial high fees.

But BMW Sauber's Heidfeld, who tested at the Bahrain circuit on Thursday, told the local Gulf Daily News newspaper at Sakhir: "I haven't paid."

Earlier this month, the GPDA issued a statement slamming the recent price increases as "inherently unfair, both in the way they were introduced and the way they impact on individual drivers."

31-year-old Heidfeld said: "I think that the letter that went out explained our point very well and also my point of view."

Bernard,
What is the relevance of your post???
Cheating??? Lets see, was it not Schuey that knocked off Damon Hill to win the Championship? Was it not Schuey that stopped at Monaco at the end of qualifying in the middle of the circuit so that no one could go faster than him??? HHHmmmmmm
You have a short memory!!!
Move on, your rants are boring, and serve no purpose.
Mad Massa lost last year because he didn't know to stop for a red light, and he drove off whilst the fuel rig was still attached to the car...
A race is not finished until it is over, last corner or not!
Go Mark Webber, Red Bull, Williams, and McLaren!!!

I agree it is this sick guy's comments that is making this a site I use less & less REPORT HIM EVERYBODY! AND COPY AND PASTE THIS YOUR SELF IF U WANT THIS TO STOP
"Please do something about the lunatic that is ruining the F1 comments section to your news articles.
He is guilty of continued abuse, spam, ID fraud, using multiple accounts (MANY), and inappropriately clicking the report abuse button to remove the vaild posts of others that he disagrees with.
The other accounts that he is supsected of using are called Stephen, touronroute, Bernard, marnio from peru, POTTER, MARION, Adrian, Reynard, Never Y, Jbolan, Timo Glock, Hamilton, and F1 POLICE. It's obvious to spot him. He repeatedly posts the same slanderous messages over and over until he floods a board or in an attempt to cause distress.
Please investigate the above names and you will see what I mean. I understand that I am not the only person to have reported this poster and ask you to do someting about him once and for all."

iagree with you,but i wonder if the yahoo moderators are interested at all by their job, if they did they would have blocked him a long time ago.

To b. the builder, I think it best to ignore remarks, taunts and abuses from characters like this guy. Acknowledging him by replying or arguing with him does nothing but empower and embolden him. This whole entire comment board is about the topic. Too often, he has managed to high jack it to serve his own purposes. Treat him as one would a "e-terrorist" or an "e-thug". See him for what he is and ignore him. Just my two cents. Back to the topic of Superlicence costs. :)

All you are doing is drawing attention to these posts and showing annoyance is probably what the gentleman concerned requires.
Perhaps if the GPDA reduced their membership fees, the poor drivers might be able to afford the Super Licence.

Marnio from Peru, potter, F1 police, b.thebuilder...marion...who are you?
Why so many identities???
Lewis Hamilton won.
The umpires have declared it.
Move on without the abuse, the language.
Lewis must have some talent, otherwise you and I would be driving in F1!!!
Peace & love,

Yes, good idea - but be careful not to become a spammer yourself.
