Drivers protest Bernie's new rule re: grid access.

Bernie seems to be an ass, again. What is gained by not giving access to the drivers physiotherapists? Many drivers protested by leaving the grid after parking their cars. I thought "pageantry" was all part of F1. I guess Bernie thinks otherwise.

So, what does this accomplish?

When Martin Brundle took to the grid this morning for his inaugural grid-walk of 2010, the former driver warned viewers that there would be very few drivers lurking about. Brundle went on to explain that in a strange decision by the powers-that-be, the physiotherapists who look after the drivers have had their access passes revoked. In protest at not having these key people with them on the grid, the drivers all agreed to leave the track and return to their respective garages once they had parked their cars up. And indeed, the grid was looking notably driver-free.When Martin Brundle took to the grid this morning for his inaugural grid-walk of 2010, the former driver warned viewers that there would be very few drivers lurking about.

Everyone can rest easy. I noticed they were back on the grid in China.
