You have to ask, at what point does Maldonado cost the team more in repairs and fines than he brings in with his oil money?
Pastor Maldonado
- Thread starter Ejike Wodu
- Start date
And in team morale - the mechanics were shaking their heads in a knowing way after his pit entry crash at China.

When the repair bill exceeds 40-odd million dollars a year! lol
It's not just that also look at the points he could've scored... those lost points'll cost the team even more at the end of the season

Looks like he'll be gone sooner than we may think.
The Venezualan government is cutting all funding for Motorsport, as it doesn't promote developing sport in the country.
He's nothing without his pay cheque, so he's a gonner!

40-odd million a year, yikes. Red Bull could probably develop three new cheats for that

Good opportunity for Chilton's cheque book to move up the grid
Hey, Chilton was the only rookie last year to complete every race! I remember them raving on about that after the season. It apparently doesn't matter if it's half hour after everyone else and not worth any points :/ But it's dangerously close to making the Maldonator thread about Chilton, so back to topic...Good opportunity for Chilton's cheque book to move up the grid
"Hmm.. where else can I get money to endanger other people's lives...?"
Haha

Ironically, isn't Monaco that only place he's not had a shunt at some point over the weekend?
Keep dreaming

Sorry what?
Perhaps there could be more drivers who would be quicker than him over the course of a season, but he's still an incredible athelete and a really nice guy who I think should be more admired. Besides, he's way better than pay drivers in the past who used to be in F1. He brings money to the team but Marussia need that, and he's still better at driving an F1 car than 99% of people on this planet.

Yes, I mostly agree, I was just joking about them going on about it so much at the end of last season.
Stop saying he is fast, every F1 driver is fast, if not, they are not F1 drivers so judge on his abilities to drive and not on his speed ! Lot of people say he his the most succefull GP2 driver, I'm agree with them but GP2 is not F1 so please don't compare ! I think he has nothing tod od in a F1 today, many other drivers have more chances to succeed than him and with his money he prevent better driver, poor F1...
