    He must have been possessed that day.

    Well he is competitive with his team mate's pace this year ... I'd say he is doing pretty well.

    Maldonado is finally getting the hang of F1. Maybe Yuji Ide just needed more time.

    His teammate is a wanker. Grosjean isn't anything to write home about either. Both of them shouldn't be in F1 anymore.

    I have to agree that there were some pretty appauling moves. Twice, he took out two
    other cars in the same corner, the Force India's once and also in GP2. You must try
    really hard to accomplish that. If you do that these days you would get 10 points
    to the license in one shot. Even Mr. Bean was so upset! The flip caused to
    Gutierrez was... well, you can judge it, pretty ridiculous and then there is the massive
    shunt in GP2 where he crashed two cars during a red flag. I mean the number of
    crashes self-inflicted ones and to others is no coincidence

    Yes, he won one GP, but the quality on the rest of his races is very poor.

    Thing is he quick when he keeps it on the road. He seems to think that crashing into people while trying to pass is "having balls". His attitude is all wrong. If he were to calm himself down he'd be ok. Grosjean used to crash a lot too but he realized his problem and straightened himself out.

    He won a rain soaked race, at that! You know, one which requires driving with finesse!

    It was cloudy that day but I don't think it was raining. I get your meaning though, he seems ok at the front but when he tries to pass cars he gets a bit flustered.

    He seems to drive at 10/10ths all the time. When he stays on the track and doesn't have other cars nearby to collide with, the results are pretty good. If anything unexpected happens, there's no functional reserve left to recover without an incident - and usually those incidents are pretty serious.

    For WRC fans, Pastor Maldonado is the Colin McRae of F1. :eek:

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    +1. Maldonado is making him looking good this year but he used to be worse than him crash-wise. Will be interesting to see who'll do worse in points
