Honda's golden boy

After seeing how well McLaren's star protégé Lewis Hamilton has fared up to his Formula 1 debut, Honda F1 has decided to look elsewhere for the future of their racing program. Enter 16 year old Will Stevens, who is quickly earning the reputation of being one of the top kart racers in the world. Ross Brawn was at the signing ceremony of the young star, and was happy to get the contract for the young Brit's sealed: "After seeing how little McLaren pays Lewis it was obvious to start hiring kids before they get a taste of the big bucks."


Details of the contract amount for Stevens were undisclosed, however sources tell us that Stevens signed a 4-year deal with Honda F1 for the price of "a year supply of Clearasil Ultra, a high-definition television, a Playstation 3 with a modest library of games and a weekly allowance of £150,". When asked to comment regarding the new deal, Stevens quietly said "This has been the best year for me ever. My voice has finally broke, I've got pubes now, and now I'm going to be a Formula 1 driver!"

Not to be outdone by Honda, Force India owner Vijay Mallya has also launched a campaign to find the next F1 driving star in his home country of India. "We are looking for someone with the ambition to succeed, and willing to do so for minimum wage," said Mallya.
