Sure, it is a lot of money, but he is a driver first and a fun one to watch!<br /> <br /> I hope he shows well when it counts! Adam – nice point about Jacques doing this for the love of the sport.

Isn’t it nice to see another driver who doesn’t view money as his motivation? Schuey M drives for pleasure – the $40 million he rakes in every year is just a bonus. Jacques offered himself to teams for $1 million basic plus $30,000 per point scored – it’s still more than many will earn in a lifetime but there are few other drivers who would willingly accept an offer far below their market value.

Welcome back, Jacques.

Cheers,
