Max Chill isn't a sponsored driver is he?

So wait, people pay for Pastor Maldonado to crash every other race?

Chilton is an actual pay driver. His family is incredibly rich, and they pay Marussia to let him drive. His brother, Tom Chilton, is also a rally driver.

And yes, they pay for it. They get their name on the car which is worth a lot.* However the new Venezuelan president said they're going to cut funding towards Motorsports, so he may be outsies soon.

* in 2013, the value of Infiniti's advertising on the Red Bull cars was over $1b. Not bad for their £60m investment. Unslain Bosses - Clan

Where do I find someone stupid to pay for me to race in F1?

I think I could crash.  Maldonado makes it look easy.

I'll even send in a highlight clip of me crashing in Mario Kart so they can see my skill.

Well, currently, it's just:

Santander
Ferrari
Total
Telmex
PDVSA
or Medion

And/or rich friends, and/or family.

Edit: Or offer to do it for free and give someone £1m

Damn... I want to race for Mercedes.

Guess I'll just wait for that american guy to make his team and then try out.

I need to make a kickstarter to raise that kind of money.

Pledge more than $2 and you get to see me crash!

Announcer: Can you smell that?  It's the smell of James Bacon heating up as he moves into first place after starting in last!

or more likely

Announcer:  Can you smell that?  It's the smell of the Shake'n'Bacon (yeah I named my car) on fire after James Bacon crashed into the wall.
