They're still trying to pay off the debt they're in from his past crashes, thats why they need his money.must have a lot of money for crash repairs
unless he crashes the name off the carbut if you are looking for TV time put you name on the side of pastors car! Lol
It wouldn't, no. It'd be a whole lot better.f1 wouldn't be the same without malfunctionado. he's part of the furniture now, even if it's all beat up.
I think that Pastor is an ok guy off track; does a lot of good for youngsters back home.
On track he instils in me a feeling that, somewhere there is a great driver inside of him but can't find a way out.
I liked him a lot when he was at Williams (pity he walked) and I had great hopes for him at Lotus; because he is fast, that can't be denied...the sorry story is though, that he is still making mistakes that could be avoided.
As far as being behind Grosjean in the points well be fair, look at his mechanical DNF's he has had and many of them when he was leading Grosjean.
I think that he gets more stick than he deserves; for instance the coming together with Button in Singapore, all the comments were worded with the, "here we go again, Maldonado" tone; when Button was at fault for sure.
I am glad Lotus have given him one last chance...if he messes up next season, then yes dump him.
DNF when he was leading Grosjean...hahahahahaha ! Pastor DNF 5-6 times the 1st three laps !
I see you have been watching/following F1 for 25 years...not long really, I started being a GP/F1 nut in 1950; which is 65 years and know a fast driver when I see one; Maldonado is fast, he has won a race, which is more than most F1 drivers do in their career.
Wait and see is my motto on him.
In the present day Merc' he would trash "bling boy Hamilton" over a flying lap.
