Almost as pathetic as crashing your go-kart in a demonstration run, huh?

I think I'd be afraid to even be at a venue where both Pastor Maldonado and EJ Viso were running at the same time! Even watching this on TV could result in being hit by a flying piece of something!

No relevance.

[Garry Walker]

Fair enough, what incident were you referring to? I assumed you were talking about Hamilton as he did that.

LOL, that will teach me, I didn't click on your link, just looked at the title.
But yes, I was referring to Hamilton's incident to show that it can happen to everyone. Even to the hero of the OP, who has since Valencia GP had an unhealthy obsession with Maldonado.

[Garry Walker]

I think the difference is Hamilton took that incident in his stride and laughed it off. It was a bit of fun and looked like abit of a tool, but being serious about it would have looked ridiculous IMO. Maldonado doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that sees the humour in his mistakes, but then again we don't know too much about the public side of him.

Do you have any proof that he didn't laugh it off? Do you have any proof for his lack of humour?

[Garry Walker]

No, I just had proof he laughed it off and has a sense of humour.

I meant Maldonado.

Delusional doesn't even come close. He's clearly pretty quick, but for Williams to come up with a champions car at the moment and Pastor to finish more than half the races is pie in the sky.

I'll have some of what he is smoking...

To be fair he is quoted as saying: "Before leaving Williams I would like to win the championship with them." That's not the same as saying he's going to win the title in 2013.

In that case, Williams needs to bring back Barrichello.

Rubens needs to just give it up. He sounds pathetic in that interview. I like the lad but really???
