Maldonado: “Too harsh judgments on me”

Not without a little childish crying Pastor Maldonado he defends himself from the detractors who have targeted him throughout the 2015 season and beyond, accusing him of being a public danger.

“If I make a mistake, even if it doesn't involve others, it becomes the news of the day – the Venezuelan told motorsport.com – In the end all the drivers are involved in accidents but no one is told anything. Look at Bottas and Raikkonen, this year they touched each other twice and yet both cases were dismissed as mere racing episodes. For me, however, a small contact is enough to make all hell break loose...".

“I understand that the commissioners change from event to event, however it would be nice to have greater homogeneity in the judgments – he pointed out – In fact, it seems to me that if some episodes were assessed lightly, there was an excess of severity towards me. However, it's part of the game. A bit like in football."
