Maybe it's all a plan to make sure PVDSA or w/e get plenty of air time because there are always cameras on maldonado due to his antics!

The car's good enough to get exposure without resorting to that.

Maldonado has proved that

It's so much better then either of the drivers have shown it to be.

Quite true for senna. Maldonado has shown what it is capable of, but his results don't show that obviously because of his wrecks. 6th in australia before his final lap crash, win at catalunya, and pretty much a guaranteed podium spot in valencia had he not collided with hamilton. As far as the car goes, it's colors have been shown. Unfortunately the drivers haven't got it across the finish line in the position it's capable of.

Even taking Maldonado's adventures into consideration I don't think it has truly shown it's colours, with the exception of the win of course but I think Williams has come up with a really good car and in the right hands would be capable of much more than either Maldonado or Senna have shown.

I would agree with that on a race by race basis. I think maldonado has shown that the team built him the car he wants and needs, and he has done great things with. I think you're right in some respects, a more solid driver would be more consistent, and I'm not even talking about the wrecks. From memory, maldonado is either putting the car high up in Q3, or being quite average in Q2. So yes, perhaps a better driver would be consistent in maximizing the set up and tire wear at each and every track to consistently qualify well and finish, which maldonado has only been able to do at some tracks. I don't wanna be the airhead that will defend maldonado to absolutely no end, but I really really hope he gets his act together and locks things down like he has done a few times over the course of the season, because he has glimpses of pure raw speed, and I absolutely love his aggression and attitude, however misguided it is some days. Most days.

Just had a thought... imagine Maldonado and Briatore on the same team?

OK pastor, when I give you the secret message I want you to crash, and make it look convincing.

Later....

You were supposed to wait for the secret message!

If we are playing the what if game, then Grojean would already be WDC in waiting. if only he could finish the 1st few laps
