Piquet purchases private plane
http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headline...07091543.shtml
Junior has yet to drive a F1 race but he's already bought himself a plane. First I thought, wow, the guy's gonna do himself no good being larger than life. But then I decided that F1 has long been missing that kind of rock star splendid attitude. Like father, like son, the history repeats.Llibertat

It could be a worthwhile purchase if it saves him from the horror of airport check-in queues; on the other hand we've seen how easy it is for a young driver to be distracted by the trinkets and baubles which come with money. Ah well, let him have some fun!

A bit strange for a rookie, but a common thing for the world of F1, a lot of drivers and team bosses have private jets.
I got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time...

No driver takes scheduled flights if they don't have thier own plane then the team will.
