Pastor Maldonado
- Thread starter Ejike Wodu
- Start date
Roland Ratzenberger was an Austrian racing driver rookie driving for the MTV Simtek Ford team. Ayrton Senna was introduced to Roland earlier that year in testing. The San Marino GP was Ratzenberger's first Formula One Grand Prix but he didn't make it to the end of Qualifying. His Simtek left the racetrack at the Variante Villeneuve corner, the corner after the high speed curve of Tamburello where Senna crashed the following day. Senna was driven to the scene of the accident but when he got there, Ratzenberger was already dead. R.I.P Roland Ratzenberger
So Maldonado says he was vindicated by a clean race, eh? Smokescreen if you ask me.
He did not complete the full race, and with Pastor, the race isn't over until the fat lady is parked.
We would do well to remember what happened on the final lap of Valencia. I am sure he was planning his assault for the latter stages here as well

He probably would have smashed Alonso into a concrete wall if the safety car hadn't come out.
Hopefully Maldonado doesn't get a drive next season as he's not deserving to be in any motorsport
he most certainly are.
One of the quickest guys on the grid, actually. Media have brainwashed a lot of poor souls into thinking he's a pay-driver (he does bring a lot of sponsors, but has a lot of [raw] talent too) and an idiot...
People forget he´s the most succesful GP2 driver ever in terms of wins and also a champion with a team that had never won it before.
But whatever floats people´s boats i guess.

Unfortunately Pastor is signed for next season alongside Bottas, Senna and Bottas wouldv'e been a better choice
Maybe in some parallel universe yesSenna and Bottas wouldv'e been a better choice
He's an incredible driver. I think he just has to cut out his aggressive errors. Then he could very well be up there and have a possibility of moving to a bigger team.
Yea he´s been doing some silly things and some good things but that ended badly because the rear end came around (like Silverstone and Hungary)
If he can just hone that and make those passes stick, he will definitely be someone to count on.
He´s got the pace, he´s got the mental aspect locked down as well.
Having Alonso behind you for a whole race and not make a single mistake is pretty damn impressive for a guy in his second year.
I bet Williams is incredibly happy as well, he brought them a win which is something they haven´t tasted for quite some time.

2, The only reason he´s even remotely close to Maldonado is because of Maldonado´s mishaps and stupid mistakes.
Think about this, Maldonado can change his mentality (which he has done drastically over the second half of the season)
But Bruno can´t change his speed, that is the problem and that´s why he´s not in a Williams next year.
He´s overrated and the only reason he´s in F1 is because of his name.
He even confessed that at Monaco this year!
"Let´s get real shall we" - i agree completely...
At first i too thought about Pastor that he has Speed but made awful Mistakes and should be out of F1
But in the 2nd Half he changed his Mind and Drove aggressively yet Cautiously
Remember his Race on Singapore He qualified 2nd and Was 4th for Most of race and battled alonso Very well until a Problem Halted his progression or even in Korea he fought hard managing a 1 stopper i believe despite he was out of Points.
If he was given a Perfect Machinery in the Future he can be a WDC Competitor.

I agree, Pastor was maybe too aggressive In the beginning of the season when he had all the problems, but tbh..I love his driving style, he is really fast and aggressive and I like that , I think his won of fastest drivers on the grid for sure. And It seems like he has learned his lesson in the final part of the season.
, I think his won of fastest drivers on the grid for sure. And It seems like he has learned his lesson in the final part of the season.Bruno is quick when he can challenge the likes of Kimi or Felipe and I cant see that Maldos changed his frame of mind, he just wasnt near anyone to hit them. If anyone can win at Monaco in any dicipline then they are fast; Senna won in GP2
He brings £29Million to the team, is that not a wealthy paid driver
