Grand Prix Rejects

With a strong likelihood, this means that Chilton will at least become a triple champion, joining the likes of Ayrton Senna and Sebastian Vettel.

For instance, on top of his F1 driving duties, he was doing a spot of modelling on the Friday of the Monaco GP weekend. And now he's now doing the job of a BBC's journalist as well. Here...

Soon he will be taking over from DC and commentating on races, whilst still driving for Marussia. You heard it hear first!!!

The drivers' parade in the morning before the race was just something else.

When the parade finished, the four Brits on the grid - Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Paul Di Resta and myself - headed across the track to wave to the fans and do an interview. The response was brilliant and I really think it gave us a boost in the race.

I spent much of the second half of the race battling with the other Caterham of Giedo van der Garde.

After the race, I had the usual media commitments before doing a briefing with my engineers to discuss how the race panned out. Then I headed over to a post-race concert, which was being hosted inside the track for the fans, and did a Q&A on stage.

The crowd were amazing. I had a couple of other appearances to make before saying goodbye to the team and cycling over to the BRDC farm where I've been based this weekend.

Then I headed home before a couple of days off. I'll spend those training in the gym or getting out on my bike.

We'll continue to keep on pushing for that first World Championship point. The car is always improving so if we keep working hard, I think we can do it.

British drivers always underperform and finish lower than their usual spots in the British GP. However, that isn't true of Max, who managed to keep up his good performance to record a solid result.

Indeed. He even managed to finish ahead of such esteemed names like Sergio Perez and Romain Grosjean!

John Booth, Marussia team principal
“Max had a race-long battle at various stages with Giedo but ultimately came out on top, which is great news for him considering he was quite disappointed after qualifying yesterday. Overall we are slightly disappointed that we have slipped back a little, but already we have some good ideas on how we can make immediate improvements to the set-up for Germany to put us right back where we have been.”

I wonder what those "good ideas" are?

It's only a matter of time before he'll be not going backwards in a front-running car.

Unless he signs for Sauber or McLaren. If those are front running cars at all.

Just goes to show he's a mature head on young shoulders with a superb reliability record like that
