Last day at the top of Maldonado

Pastor Maldonado recorded the fastest time of day on the last day of testing in Barcelona. The Lotus racer overtook the second fastest Nico Rosberg by almost a second with a time of 1: 24.871. Third was Kimi Raikkonen. The Venezuelan achieved time on a softer mix of tires, while most other racers did not test it. Finn Kimi Raikkonen managed to drive 93 laps after a difficult first day, but the pitch did not rest even on the second day, as the car was teasing him again towards the end of the day, when he was heading to a new series of laps.

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel also managed to drive a few more laps, recording his seventh time after 72 laps.

Maldonado, however, also made an unusual mistake at a free practice in Shanghai. It's for a moment

Maldonado claims to be sabotaged

formula 1

After Pastor Maldonado placed in a miserable 18th place in the US Grand Prix qualifiers, he blamed the team for the reason for his failure. This was supposed to resort to dirty tricks to make sure he failed. The Venezuelan hinted that the team had prepared tires for him with the wrong pressure, which prevented him from advancing to the second part of the qualifications, while his teammate Valtteri Bottas broke through among the top ten. In Williams, his allusions were discarded. “After the qualifiers, the racers are under the influence of adrenaline, so I’m not surprised by his statements,” commented Claire Williams, the team’s deputy chief, on Maldonado’s allegations. "We'll talk to the engineers together and find out what happened. But at Williams, I would never sabotage
