Pastor Maldonado in top form for Canada

This was one of the shocking images from the Monaco Grand Prix. After an error in the race by Max Chilton (Marussia), Pastor Maldonado was violently thrown against a safety barrier at the Tabac corner, until the latter came unstuck and caused the race to be interrupted. More fear than harm, in the end, for the pilot Williams. Arriving in Canada, the Venezuelan even claims to be in good shape. “I’m fine, everything is ok”, he declares, before discussing the new features brought by the Grove team for this new round. “The chassis is more or less the same. There are going to be some new aerodynamic parts that hopefully can solve, maybe not all of our problems, but at least allow us to take a step forward."

After a 2012 season crowned by a victory in Spain, Williams is having a much more complicated year and is still waiting for a first point. “It was quite difficult to understand the car at the start of the season, especially in the first race and we struggled a lot trying to solve the problems. » According to Pastor Maldonado, this lack of performance comes from the aerodynamics of its car. After a lot of time spent in the wind tunnel, the Caracas-born driver is finally hoping to make progress. “I think we understand the car a little better now, and I hope this race will be better for us.”
