Nelson Piquet is reportedly living in squalor in a move to motivate his on-track performances.
In a move to remove all distractions, Flavio Briatore has removed all creature comforts from Piquet’s life to help him focus on his racing, but GPDA director Mark Webber was angered by the move।
“The main clinical conditions leading to these sort of living conditions is either dementia, schizophrenia or alcoholism and we believe that a lot of the drivers have changes in their frontal lobes of their brains। No wonder Nelson’s struggling," Webber said.
Webber says more resources are needed to help drivers living in extreme squalor।
"When they have such severe problems with their thinking processes and are unable to work out what to do for themselves, yes, we believe that the GPDA should intervene," he said.

Lewis Hamilton admitted he regrets taking part in a pre-Turkish Grand Prix publicity stunt for McLaren title sponsor Vodafone, which brought on media mockery in the UK।
Hamilton was hoisted on to stage on high wires, portraying the Greek god Apollo, during a promotional event at the Istanbul set of 'Fires of Anatolia', a show depicting the battle of Troy।
"I thought 'that really was not cool.. Now I've seen the footage and it's one of the worst things I've ever seen” cited Hamilton. “At the end of the day I have a cool image, and things like that don't help… I’m a cool dude and cool dudes don’t hang from strings looking like Muppets.. Except Dr Teeth maybe.. Come to think of it, he was pretty cool.. Get Jim Henson on the phone.. I wanna guest spot!.. Whaddaya mean he won’t answer his phone???!!"

Sutil: Pawn in a game of Porn
Force India driver Adrian Sutil said on Friday police had foiled an attempt to blackmail him after last month's Spanish Grand Prix।
"When I came back from Barcelona there was a guy who had the hard disk of my old computer because my father had thrown It out ..," the young German told Reuters at the Turkish Grand Prix।
"Somebody took this hard disk out of the computer, recognised me and he wanted to have a little benefit out of it," added the 25-year-old।
Sutil said there was nothing on the hard drive that would have embarrassed him if made public, other than "all my personal details, Oh.. and some pics I downloaded from the “News of the World Website”

Lewis’ career in pop a ‘Daft’ idea
Lewis Hamilton has joined ex-F1 driver Jacques Villeneuve in a quest for pop stardom, but may face opposition when his new single “Harder, Better, Faster, Longer” hits shelves next week.
The single’s title bears a striking resemblance to Daft’s Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”, but Hamilton denies any plaigarism, labelling any comparisons as “daft” during the launch of his single at ‘Hype’ Nightclub this week.
Daft Punk are said to be consulting lawyers regarding the track, and will be considering litigation concerning image copyright infringement.
Kimi Cops a Mouthfull
Kimi Raikonnen’s affirmation that it’s “better in the mouth than in the eye”,after copping a faceload of champaign from Heikki Kovolainen in Malaysia, has drawn opposition from leading members of the international porn community.
International spokesman, Ron Jeremy was particularly vocal, saying Raikonnen “had no business casting methodological dispersions on an industry he has no qualififications in – regardless of his patronage”.
FIA President, Max Mosley has supported Jeremy’s comments, saying he should put himself in Ron’s shoes before making unqualified statements”.

Seriously I have no idea! Tell me! I vant to know ze joke!!.. Zat’s not funny!!!!”
