A greeting to everyone who is safe. Ante todo quiero agradecer el grand apoyo que me brindan día a día. Those who have previously informed us that we did not participate this time were joined by partners #RobertoGonzalez and #AnthonyDavidson in the Jota-Sport team, the @fiawec_official campeonato who did not have a balanced balance for all parties. Aprovecho para desearle el mejor de los exitos en este campeonato #2019 – #2020. The latest information is in the future. Hello everyone. First if want to thank all of you for the amazing support that you give me every day. I want to inform that officially I'll not participate this season together with my teammates #RobertoGonzalez and #AnthonyDavidson in Jota-Sport at @fiawec_official due to not reaching a balance agreement between the parties. I take the opportunity to wish the best of luck to my ex-teammates for this championship 2019-2020.

A publication shared by PASTOR MALDONADO (@pastormaldo) on August 23, 2019 at 7:10 PDT

It is through a publication on his Instagram page that the winner of the 1 Formula 2012 Spanish Grand Prix announced the surprising news. “I will not participate in this season with my teammates Roberto Gonzalez and Anthony Davidson with Jota Sport in the WEC, due to no agreement reached between all parties involved. »

Pastor Maldonado, third in the LM P2 class with DragonSpeed ​​in 2018-19 in the WEC and winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona in the same category in 2019, however, wishes “good luck to (his) ex-teammates”.

The English team must now urgently find a replacement. Eyes turn towards Antonio Felix Da Costa, left free from any WEC commitment after the end of the BMW GTE Pro program and who had already driven for Jota Sport (at the time called Jackie Chan DC Racing) during the 24 2018 Hours of Daytona (podium).
