Is F1 a complete joke or what?

Bernie and the FIA bandits are nothing more than blood-sucking leeches.
Last season drivers were unhappy about a price hike from 1,725 Euros plus 456 Euros per point for the licences, to 10,000 Euros plus 2,000 Euros per point for the 2008 season.
The price of a licence has increased by 400 Euros (to 10,400 Euros), while drivers must pay an extra 100 Euros ( to 2100 Euros) per point scored. There is also a 2,720 Euros compulsory insurance charge.
Although the 2009 increases are purely the result of inflation, it is understood that the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA) is deeply unhappy about the price increase. Under the current fees, world champion Lewis Hamilton will have to pay 218,920 Euros for his licence fees this year.

i think its justified as they are a but an elite few.
I'm sure past drivers wanting in like Takuma Sato would have no problems paying.
I'm sure those drivers who had to pay for their seat on the team wouldn't haven any problem either..
so they should have no problem "ponying up" as they make enough.
