Max Verstappen to drive for STR in 2015?

[steveaki13]

OK, I predict he has a shunt in preseason practice that causes Da Boss to become blind in one eye, Seb to lose his right index finger, and seven toes, Fred to die of complications due to a permanent priapism, and Kimi crashing so hard it knocks some talent back into him, and he cruises to the WDC.

There we go, it wasn't unreasonable to ask was it

Oh sh*t here comes trouble

I'm okay with that. At least he's not arrogant enough to say that he's as good as Alonso, like Vergne did with Webber a few years ago, more that his driving style is like him. I am keeping an open mind on him joining F1. I do think it might be a bit early for him but time will tell.

Verstappen is still going through puberty. So there is a legitimate reason he's a wanker.

Vergne>Webber.

Cheers Black Knight, my post was just another feeble attempt at humor. Alonso=trouble to many soldiers in The Anglo-Mafia, and elsewhere. I've never seen Max race, and I stated earlier in the thread that I preferred not to predict how he would do in F1. I took a couple of things from that article:
1) He seems to think he has a style, which sort of implies that he understands that, like Fred, his success is partly predicated on his view of what makes a complete driver, and practices those principals.
2) He struck me as being rather mature.
Time will tell (given enough of it) how good he actually is.

Vergne>Webber.

I'm not taking sides here, because I don't know the exact context of Vergne's statement, however JEV may well be, which to me ain't saying that much.

At 17 he is not mature enough to race at what is supposed to be the top level of motor sport.

The top ride in the sport right now is Mercedes and we see how mature their drivers have been behaving lately!

Recently-signed 2015 Toro Rosso driver Max Verstappen suffered a minor crash during his public F1 debut at the VKV City Racing event in Rotterdam today.
The 16-year-old was driving an RB8 in a Toro Rosso livery during a demonstration in Rotterdam earlier today when he got stuck close to a barrier while performing donuts for the crowd. Just seconds after the car was recovered, he hit the wall – albeit at a slow speed – and damaged the front wing.

That was bizarre. He wasn't even going fast and it understeered into the barrier like he hit a patch of ice or something.

That was a hell of a place to be driving an F1 car for the first time.

Loser. Although, he'll be ok in the WTCC or Blancpain series in 7 years.
