Pastor Maldonado is angry. "Since his victory at Barcelona last year, he feels destined to higher things," they say in the team. Maldonado said recently that he no longer wanted to compete with drivers like Botta's, but with the really big ones. But to challenge Vettel, Alonso and Co., he lacks the consistency. There are more errors than bright spots.
"He still makes too many mistakes," said a team member. "In Korea, we repeatedly explained to him in the last stint on the radio that he must take care of the right front tire and, if necessary, should stay out of all the duels. What is he doing? Drives like a madman with the others and ruins his tyres within three laps. "
