So now that our Man Maldonado is no more.
Who are we going to look to for the daft antics now?
That's a tough question actually. The driver least worthy of his place on the grid in terms of talent is (in my opinion) Marcus Ericsson, but that doesn't mean he'll be constantly causing accidents.Who are we going to look to for the daft antics now?
Or it could be Wehrlein, trying too hard to impress in a car with a bad chassis.
If i were a betting man however, my money would be on Esteban Gutierrez. He wasn't up to much when he was a Sauber driver and Ferrari only took him because of the size of his wallet. But he'll likely be convinced that he got his 3rd Ferrari driver role because of talent and will be eager to show it to everyone, which is precisely where it will all go wrong.
Yes, the Maldonado spirit will be secure in 2016.

Manor second seat, Verstappen when he goes for a 50/50 overtake that doesn't work out as planned. Maybe a rematch of Raikkonen/Bottas if/when they are on the same bit of track.
That seems reasonable I feel that Verstappen may bite off more than he can chew on more than one occasion this year.
I am expecting Verstappen to be one of the most watched Drivers this season.

There may be a central heating engineer from Basingstoke
Actually, I know a central heating engineer from (near ) Basingstoke. He is the worst driver I know of. Terrible attention span, easily distracted, no spatial awareness and drives too fast for the road conditions. Anyway, as you were...

Much as I'd like to see the narcissistic twerp take his smug face and bag of (daddies?) money elsewhere, he has been somewhat annoyingly competent.hairyben said:

So Haryanto seems to have binned the Manor twice already in testing. As far as I know nobody else has got stuck in the gravel at all. However, the car looks like it's going to be the slowest on the grid again this year so there won't be many cars around for him to hit...
Go on, blame it on Rio.rohrl said:

Surely he is more suited to Nascar
In 2017 Pirelli tyres will work better off track than on.
