What an amazing resource our readers are! Kostas from Greece just sent us a fantastic shot from the past. It portrays Kostas himself with none other than 2009 Formula1 World Champion - and winner of the first F1 Grand Prix of the 2012 season held in Australia just yesterday – Jenson Button, Costas’ teammate in his early karting days back in 1994.

Here is Kostas’ message:
“After 25 years in Karting and 24 years of racing (I am still racing and still getting podiums) I like reading your magazine as I’m a HUGE fan of it!!! On my kart there is always a Vroom sticker!!!! waiting like crazy the February issue!!!

P.S.: I’m sending u one of my pictures. I used to race together with Jenson Button as he was my team mate in the same team called ASTRA in 1994... u may like it!!!”

Huge thanks to Kostas Maitos, and big congratulations to Jenson Button of course!
