Permanent: “We don't want any more mistakes from Maldonado”

The rest of the deployment is warned. From the next Spa appointment Maldonado , supported by the spirit of Rambo, will have to wreak havoc, in the good sense of the term obviously, according to the wishes of the leaders Lotus, not very convinced by the Venezuelan's results after the first ten races.

“So far Pastor has only really stood out on two occasions even though he has repeatedly demonstrated that he has the speed needed – the comment of the track operations manager Alan Stays at Autosport – Unfortunately he made numerous mistakes. In Bahrain for example, despite having started almost from the back of the grid due to a brake problem he had in qualifying, he could easily have finished seventh if he hadn't made a mistake, the same happened in China where due to an error entering the pit lane he threw away a placing . I don't think it's a lack of concentration, but an excess of enthusiasm in wanting to find that tenth that he's missing."

“Perhaps he is also feeling the pressure coming from his people and sponsors, in any case he has a relaxed working approach and this is positive” – concluded the engineer.
