Zach Roberts This video of Maldonado is a clear reminder that it is not always the car. Maldonado would have achieved way more in F1 if he wasn't always crashing and getting himself in trouble. Take for example that race in Valencia where he crashed into the side of Hamilton while trying to overtake. A driver with a better race craft would have chosen a better spot to overtake as he was clearly faster than Lewis at that point. The years that Lewis didn't have a good car, he still managed to win races and finish a lot of times on the podium. The only F1 driver till date that has always managed to win at least a race in all the seasons he has participated. That's talent, not just car.

[@Gentleman...Driver]

I am a racing driver myself and I know from early Kart days that tunnel vision is a thing. So, its very hard to see something like a pit board or a flag when you are focussing on the track or something else. With exhaustion over the race this is getting worse and worse. I believe that is what happened to Maldonado at all of his "yellow flag incidents". After a while you get used to it, but maybe the speeds driven in F1 were too much for him, and I cant really blame him. You saw him also struggle a lot with controls, while managing something on his steering wheel. So I guess he is just bad at multi tasking, which is bad because you need this as a racing driver in any serious event. Not just F1, but also in touring cars for example. The cars are so complicated and the team wants you to communicate with them and change settings in the car right on the fly in tricky conditions. Sometimes I asked myself what he was thinking going way too fast into a corner. Also he didnt seem to be the smartest guy, when you talked to him. Felt kind of bad for him to be honest, because he was portraited like a clown. But then again some of his accidents were really pathetic to say at least. Dont be too hard on us, since errors are natural. Racing drivers are not perfect. We make mistakes, we push the cars and ourselves to the limit and often enough beyond. The more performance you get from a car the more scatchy it gets. Just compare of what you have achieved compared to the guy who has spon out or something. Applies to other sports (like football) as well.

Well thing is, Maldonado didn't take Lewis out, so pretty obviously the effect is less, compared to Grosjean, which already have tons of penalty points, and just shy of a little bit more to get a race ban. Not to mention he wiped TWO championship contender, which is a lot more severe result compared to Pastor

[@tomhutchins7495]

I always thought the Grosjean ban was harsh, at least how it was presented. Maybe this wasn't the logic behind the scenes, but from the outside it looked like they were penalising based on outcomes rather than behaviours. I'm not saying Grosjean's antics that season shouldn't have added up to a race ban, just that it's not how it was presented.

CAPS LOCK nice.

[@p.informatico1320]

Maldonado was the kind of driver who would drive to the limit trying to squeeze every drop of potential of the car... unfortunately he would often surpass that limit, crashing into walls or other drivers...

[@BrandonA1]

People love that attribute. Guys like Gilles Villeneuve, Jean Alesi, even Ayrton Senna had hard as physically possible. The difference is, they knew the difference between Driving hard and driving reckless. Maldonado was incredibly reckless and if he just drove the car properly he could have made far more points finishes

[@stanbubbles4453]

Imagine a team with Raghunathan and Maldonado... ABSOLUTE HELL

[@vh7368]

Maldonado at least had speed

10:18 so I tried to find the "with the peasants in the HRT" line yesterday without luck, I couldn't remember what video it was from. The fact that I found it today was pure coincidence. This comment is a note for myself.

[@mohammeded-dahbi7603]

3:04 "Will power" What a name, mate!

[@timetzkampg2087]

MALDONATOR

[@TheShockninja]

*mind explodes*

[@fafonso558]

vs nissany and taki inoue

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

Well Pastor won a GP and Ragunathan can barely execute a three point Turn so, Maldonado would lap him (given he could keep the car in the track)

[@emdotrod]

The OG GOAT. I'm always considering Pastor as a decent driver whose his erratic driving sadly overshadowed his skills. Can't win GP2 title without skills I guess.

[@14rs2]

You know you crash a lot when you make grojean look great 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@sergeantsupreme4395]

You know you're new to the sport when you think Grosjean was never good 🤦‍♂️

[@martintorrebiarte5063]

Sergeant Supreme grosjean has got 10 podiums aye I despise people like the guy above who hates on every driver.

[@mercamia]

Grosjean is good when he's on the right car, 2013 season is really good for him

[@BlueSky-ub4fx]

Your cuts are HILARIOUS!! 🤣🤣

[@lukeisbored8607]

Fun fact: a friend of mine is Adrian Valles’ cousin, and her dad owns a karting track :D

[@pastormaldonado8822]

I am the GOAT!

[@the420secrets6]

Nah you're just a goat.

[@williamford9564]

Tell 'em Pastor.

[@thatonecarguydirk4803]

LETS GO CHAMP

[@marianionita8256]

Nope Ragunathan is the GOAT

[@themes6237]

Maldonado or Ragunathan?

[@stratis722]

*He pulled a Maldonado.* (I really don't know what to comment)

[@leerblizzz4688]

I’m so happy you collabed with Tommo

[@ryanb9749]

This is the greatest script and editing on KZbin.

[@SuperNuclearUnicorn]

Total sidenote regarding those Minardi times, it's an absolute travesty we didn't get Will Power on an F1 grid. Put him on a team with Mark Webber for max Aussieness
