It doesn’t matter. If you’re immediately World Champion, you’re not interested. You’re going to sleep for 18 hours on the plane. Come on, man. You can just whine about it. It’s too cool to race in Las Vegas. It’s more a tough one for the mechanic, who really goes into the last weekend with bags under his eyes.

Giedo van der Garde said on De Race Show

Van Der Garde has urged the three-time world champion to stop whining about fatigue, saying that it does not matter. He feels that the drivers’ should respect the efforts of the mechanics more, as they work harder than them.

While races do make sense to be clubbed closer to each other, certain norms do not make it possible. This leaves multi-millionaire drivers to work harder and justify their money’s worth in one of the most demanding sports in the world.
