    Great example of what I always say...
    You dont need to be a great driver to race, you just need to have the money.

    If it was too bumpy Williams would NEVER have run the car there.

    the guy is a toolbag, quick at times but he's got severe red mist issues (most notable melbourne this year, could have scored big points in the first race by finishing second but crashes one lap from the end, and Valencia, instead of waiting another few corners he takes himself and Hamilton out).

    Oh come on.

    It was a very daring move, I wouldn't put the blame entirely on Maldonado - I'd say it's a racing incident. The curb should have anticipated him trying to rejoin the track there so I'd place a lion's share of blame on the curb.

    The FIA have looked into this incident and, based on what they've seen, Lewis Hamilton will receive a 10 place grid penalty at the next race! :p

    The best part of that video is the woman who starts cackling after he wads the car into the curb.

    LOL!

    That wasn't a woman cackling! - That was Lewis Hamilton! Hence the ten place grid penalty! (For unsportsmanlike behaviour!) :D

    as much as I dislike Maldonado I have a feeling keeping an f1 car straight at all time even at moderate speeds is probably pretty difficult. Plus he wanted to put on a good show for the fans.

    Nah - He'd need another car to bounce off in that case! :)

    In a separate interview Maldonado quote, "vows to make up for points lost in mid-season F1 races". We all know how he's gonna do it...crash every other driver off the track, I just hope he doesn't kill somebody.

    His early season success may be the worst thing that could of happened for his career (and for the general level of safety in F1).
