I'd love to see Maldonado back in F1. Him and Verstappen slugging it out on track? Gonna be priceless.

I was beginning to forget about Maldonado. At least last time he was in the really slow lotus. Williams are a midfield team just think of the chaos he will create. Also he might make stroll look like Sena in comparison

Doubt it, Mclaren will be much further ahead!!
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

MAL won't be back... very sad that he was ill advised out of Williams (by himself and N. Todt :mrgreen: )...
would have won another race in 2014.

What am I missing? All I see is some pretty excellent defensive driving, until VES's tyres give way.

So it's pretty much set in stone that Wehrlein won't be considered at Williams because of his age, right? Seems a shame. Also what is Stroll's contract situation? I cannot remember.

you know, you could offcourse take the effort to simply look into the Williams topic , and discover that the idea that the age would restrict that is a total bogus thing that never made any sense......

while also sending off 4 Hamilton players to make it more interesting"

Is it, though? It has been widely reported that Martini requires at least one driver over the age of 25, for promotional reasons.
