Former F1 World Driver Champion Nelson Piquet has called the Grand Prix Master Series rubbish and says he would never participate in it as a driver.
"I would never do anything like that, because my time as a professional race driver is gone and I have my job," Piquet told Italian racing magazine Autosprint magazine.
"That's a series for people with no money who are hoping to gain it back somehow. Beyond that, I don't see any reason to race in such rubbish. After having raced in F1, you go back at 50 years of age at the wheel of a car that looks like it? No way." (Pictured left at Zolder in 1981 in his famous Parmalat Brabham)
"My company has grown immensely: 1,025 employees, with an annual revenue of over 200 million dollars," Piquet said.
"Personally, I'm making a lot more than when I used to race in F1. In the next five years, I will make double what Michael Schumacher has made in his entire career."

Sounds like all he cares about is money
