Max Chilton

There has been speculation about this guy potentially being on the F1 grid next season as the 2nd Marussia driver so does this guy deserve to be there on merit or is he a pay per driver ?

Brother of Tom who races in touring cars because he is too tall for F1.
His junior record is not impressive as he was only 4th in British F3 2009 won by his teammate Daniel Ricciardo and 4th in Gp2 this season behind Sauber bound Gutierrez, Razia and Valsechi ( neither of the latter two appear have found drives for 2013)

However he has shown capability now and then to race at the front with wins and podiums occasionally

Before the British press starts hyping this guy as a potential world champion. What is his true potential out of curiousity?
 
David Croft has tweeted that he's off to Force India at some point, maybe even 2014!? Whether it actually happens we'll see, but the boy must have some money behind him. That's the only reason a higher running team would take him on because he's done very little on the track to prove otherwise. Unimpressive would be a mild way to describe his F1 career so far.

Croft also says Alonso to McLaren and Hulkenberg to Lotus.

I'm not sure if he's tweeted them as facts or his firm opinions.
 
Oh dear, all this fuss because Chilton outpaced his team mate fair and square. He is improving and deserves another year, if he cannot make it then it will be a different story.
 
Funny old world, in my line of work if you couldn't cut it in three months you were out on your ear!
