I don't know, but I keep reading this as "Grand Premio de Hakkinen" and it's slightly distracting. >.<

And don't be surprised when the 2017 Red Bull will also have Heineken logo's. Altough the Italian Gianluce di Tondo Sr Director of Heineken says the logo will not be visible on cars and overalls - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/124789/?_ga=1.252720398.683232214.1472713867
And again our Max is part of the deal. Luckily he is over 18 to drink a Heineken

Great news about Kevin!

Wouldn't having the louvres make it even better though?

There is no effect as the wing is too flat to create the drag effect that the louvres help stabilise, which would increase drag if it created none.
It's like opening a front window slightly when the rear window of your car isn't down, it doesn't stop that air pressure effect as there is none and it's just creating drag rather then lessening it.
By making a rear wing with low enough angle to stop that, your essentially getting it into a zone of 2 stage drag removal.

Mercedes did basically the same in 2011. Under different regulations but still way lower than the competition.
Meanwhile, it seems that Verstappen replied to Villeneuve saying: "Villeneuve should moderate his words when he says I could kill someone, since he killed a person in Melbourne in 2001"

If true, it's another example of Verstappen's immaturity.

Well he is only 18... If I were Jos, I'd try to keep the media away from him to the extent of possibility.

This part would also seem distastefully ironic.

But is it necessarily untrue? Villeneuve loves to cultivate the in-your-face persona, but he does come across as pretty flippant. Especially when he is leaping into the fray like this. You would think that someone in Villeneuve's position would at least acknowledge that accident and the effect that the knowledge that someone died in it would have on a driver. But not Jacques Villeneuve, who is only in it for the media attention.

Can't wait till VES Montoyas himself out of F1. Especially considering that he is practically quoting the Colombian.

"
It wasn't [Mass']fault; he had nothing to do with it,” said Villeneuve, who was 11 when his father died.
“It was racing, and everybody gets into racing knowing the dangers. You can't blame someone else for someone's mistake. They were both racers, and that's it. It's not as if they had been in a race and one driver had purposely done something nasty.
“No one has ever said: ‘Here is the culprit,’ not even my mother.”
"
Villeneuve does have perspective.

Max is atm on course to become the most disliked driver on the grid with comments like that. You might expect comments like that from internet trolls, not a F1 driver surrounded by a big PR team. 18 years or not, that's just bad bad form.
I was a big fan of his, but now his antics are definitely making me think he would benefit from a season or two in the lower formulas.
