dracs Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 There is no way in hell he can be worse than Jean Eric Verne. So I am all for it.Hmmm... JEV kept Riciardo pretty honest, and now he is the next big thing...
Baldrick Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 The kid must have the talent, but could he handle the "circus" that goes with F1 I had the misfortune of riding amongst the senior scholar group several times and they scared the crap out of me with their lack of riding skills.
SeaBee Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Apparently this boytjie is seriously skilled, heard him being talked up a lot over the last while. Agreed, that is very young! Hope he has more success than his old man...

If he has the right stuff he could do some serious damage to all Vettels records.

Sounds like Marc Marquez but on 4 wheels.........
Iwan Kemp Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Sounds like Marc Marquez but on 4 wheels......... Nailed it on the head. Watch a recent race he won and his car control is incredible. Gifted
Iwan Kemp Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Ah, found a bit of a right up on ithttp://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/115436 He has what is takes, I think. Merc and Red Bull were fighting over his signature - surely that is reason enough to believe he's been noticed.
Baldrick Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I hope the kid does make it. I was a fan of his old man Here is the footnote of the career of Mike Thackwell. Another driver with tremendous talentIn truth, he had probably risen up the racing ranks too quickly and too soon, and he had been subjected to the trials and tribulations of top flight motorsport before he was ready for it. His career was a sad waste of his obvious prodigious talent, but very little of that had been his own fault.

Iwan Kemp Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Here's to a Williams taking victory this Sunday at Spa and to Bottas taking his first of many. Skull!
