Nothing like polishing your ego!

I saw this article and was not really surprised I feel its a bit like buying a knighthood or other sybil of achievement.

Look how long it took for Lauda to get a corner named after him, Max has no chance at moment of even that.   

Nice to see he still has Adolescent dreams, look out rest of the grid when he fully reaches adulthood.

As much as I enjoy hating on Max, it's clearly a joke he's having fun with.  I don't think he really expects it to happen.

While he doesn't seem to be a superstitious fellow, he should keep in mind the only tracks named after drivers are named after DEAD drivers.

Oscar Galvez got the track where the Argentinian Grand Prix was hosted named after him a few months before his death. The Juan Manuel Fangio museum in Balcarce has had a track named after the five-time champion since its inception in 1986 (which was three years before the Argentian Grand Prix got its rename). It seems Argentina's quite happy to name tracks after living racing drivers, even if other countries are not. Furthermore, there were at one point two tracks named after Nelson Piquet Sr. This included an Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet in Brazil, making the three-time world champion the only known living F1 driver to have seen the F1 circuit named after him demolished. Come to think of it, that's not quite the same ego boost as might have been envisaged...

Maybe if Max wants to see the track he will be named after, he might consider getting dual nationality with a South American country?
