Maldonado brings $26,000,000 a year to crash cars. More money than talent, so he goes to a team that needs money. Max Verstappen has talent and not a lot of money, so he goes to Red Bull Junior who need top drivers.

Great looking exhaust,

Welcome to The Land of Zed.

Welcome to The Forum.

One joined recently.

Dont use 2.7k rpm when cold..!! Could be something vibrating like a heat shield at that frequency..

I stick a note in my phone when I see one in London. not seen one since 23rd July, and I'm out and about most days in the Zed. As rare as rocking "horse poo" in Town...

Red Bull wont match Alonso's pay at Ferrari, so why should he move. I personally think Alonso will see his F1 days out with Ferrari..

Max was offered to join two top Teams, Mercedes and Red Bull Junior, I know its difficult, as new drivers don't have any testing time any more, you learn your race craft in the heat of battle so there is nowhere to hide...

Just get one, Its a few quid and if you need it you got it, I always take mine with me to the States, not worth the hassle not having one. I also think this may vary from State to State.

GO HARD OR GO HOME..

Have a go at this one... http://www.trackdays.co.uk/driving_experience/rockingham/formula_1/190/

Exacxtly what Dan & Alex said, and remember to drive on the "wrong side of the road" and if they say "hands on the dash" they mean it..!!!!

The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon “Quickie†with their 8 -year old son in the flat, was to send him out on the balcony with a Mars Bar and tell him to report on all the street activities. Their 8-year old began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation; ‘There’s a car being towed from the car park,’ he shouted. ‘An ambulance just drove past’ ‘Looks like the Anderson’s have visitors,’ he called out. ‘Matt’s riding a new bike!’ ‘Looks like the Sanders are moving!’ ‘Jason is on his skateboard! After a few moments he announced, ‘The Coopers are having a s4ag! Startled , his mum and dad shot up in bed! Dad cautiously called out, ‘How do you know that?’ ‘Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Mars Bar.’

What a great line up this month, tough one....

Sixteen-year-old Max Verstappen will become the youngest Formula 1 driver in history after Toro Rosso confirmed he will join them next season. Verstappen, who is 17 next month, currently competes in Formula Three. The Dutchman, whose father Jos is a former Formula 1 driver, will replace Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne

As said....SL55 AMG.
