can't and shouldn't stop a man from doing what he loves,
especially if he's being paid big bucks for to do it.

I don't disagree (too much), but I've got kids - and I would do
anything to avoid dying before I saw them grow up.

Yeah, understood. However, there's the temptation to 'provide for
them'. A couple years in F1 makes for a nice trust fund.

6 months in F1 will do that, and he has been doing this for several
years so don't think money will ever be an issue!

Yeah, but they say that spending increases linearly with income
especially when you get up to that level. I mean you could hardly
drive in F1 and live in a council house could you? Tax alone takes
more than 50% in most countries. (Massa doesn't live in Monaco does
he?)

Ok, checked, he *does* live in Monaco.

To you or I six months of Massa's wage would set us up for life but
we don't have to walk the walk and talk the talk of an F1 driver, or
pay the tax...
That said he seems like a sensible guy, he's probably got his
finances in order and hasn't blown *too* much on the conspicuous
consumption that is the trademark of an F1 driver. (Although I doubt
he flies economy class like Jenson.)
