Max Chilton

Max Chilton is 16 years old. He just came 17th in F3. Woah. That's one kid who knows how to drive. More importantly though, should he have been allowed in in the first place? Well for sport, it seems that if you're good enough you're old enough. Certainly people would see it as worse that over in Thailand young kids aged only six are getting in the ring to fight Muay Thai.

Driving a potentially lethal motorcar is surely just the same. I guess I have mixed feelings on it, but a hell of a lot of jealousy. Good on you kid. I sure wish I'd had that opportunity at your age. If you prove that you can drive sensibly when you get your road license, then I think the country should stop whinging about it and give you the respect you deserve.
