Pastor Maldonado at Isotta Fraschini Milano?

While the Isotta Fraschini Milano LMH should soon carry out its first tests, the Italian manufacturer welcomed a distinguished visitor to its premises in the person of Pastor Maldonado.

« Thanks to the former pilot of Formula 1 Pastor Maldonado, winner of the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix, who came to our premises to meet the management and see the Tipo 6 LMH Competizione », Shared the Italian manufacturer on its Twitter account.

Simple courtesy visit or the beginnings of a more important collaboration? Neither the Lombard firm nor the person concerned have confirmed a possible collaboration, but, according to our indiscretions, the driver would have made a good commitment with the team. 

The Venezuelan, winner of the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix, is not the first to come to WEC since he participated in the 2018-2019 super-season in the LM P2 category with DragonSpeed, with a victory at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. He also won the 24 2019 Hours of Daytona, still in LM P2 with DragonSpeed. 

Ryan Cullen is also said to be involved with Isotta Fraschini Milano. The Irish-Cypriot is riding for the second consecutive season with Vector Sport, which will take care of the operation of the Isotta Fraschini Milano LMH in competition. Gabriel Aubry and Matthias Kaiser are the other two Vector Sport drivers for this second year in the WEC. The Frenchman could also be considered for Hypercar in 2024.

Thank you to train Formula 1 driver #PastorMaldonado, winner of the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix, who came to #IsottaFraschini to visit our company, meet the management and see live the Tipo 6 LMH Competizione #hypercar.
