WTF Happened to Pastor Maldonado (feat. TommoF1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Pastor Maldonado had quite the reputation throughout his Formula 1 tenure, and still does to this day. From strange crashes, to grand prix victories, the one they call "Crashtor" had a tumultuous Formula 1 career. And then it went. So, what happened to him?

Seriously, how scary was that Lotus line-up: Pastor Maldonado and Roman Grosjean. How ANYBODY survived any race with BOTH on track is beyond me.
Grosjean is doing better in indycar he looks happier too
Not anymore yikes😬
@@Deathbyreality1ik :( I hope he finds a good team and wins a race
"If you go for a gap that no longer exists, you're Pastor Maldonado"
Some random genius said that
Maybe I am Maldonado if f1 game's
Or mahaveer raghunathan
comedy gold, right here! :P
Or Max Verstappen
What happened?
PDVSA pulled a Maldonado and crashed, along with the Venezuelan economy.
As a venezuelan this is sad but true
Hyper inflation go brrrrrrrr
I feel like maldonado is just an F1 ranked lobby driver that found his way into f1
Mate he won a race and won the f2 championship, he wasn't great but you dramatically inderrating him
Like Taki you mean?
Fofodksjdnn r/woosh
Icewolf _ how is that a r/ woosh response?
Icewolf _ uh what how???
Madonaldo, teammates with Grosjean
its hard to think that this actually happened ... FOR 2 YEARS
They're so comparable in terms of talents and faults and it's incredibly hilarious, but I would argue that Grosjean is a far more consistent driver.
@@kalelvigil1510 I'd say Grossjean is a bit more consistent but Maldonado in raw pace would be faster. Not big margins though
I can't help but wonder how much of a budget Williams attributed to all the inevitable repairs Maldo would incur.
Josh in first 20 minutes of videos: "hahaha this guy sucks"
Josh in final minute of videos: "he's actually not that bad"
Thanks for the shout-out! Let's not forget though that Pastor Maldonado would go on top become a class winner at the Rolex 24 at Daytona with Dragonspeed. His greatest achievement since he won the Spanish Grand Prix! Great video btw!
"Rubens Barrichello do Brasil"
liked that, Josh :)
10:21 what he should have got was a race ban. Grosean got one for a racing incident at the start of Spa whereas Moldonado deliberately rams another car and didnt for some absurd reason.
Well thing is, Maldonado didn't take Lewis out, so pretty obviously the effect is less, compared to Grosjean, which already have tons of penalty points, and just shy of a little bit more to get a race ban. Not to mention he wiped TWO championship contender, which is a lot more severe result compared to Pastor
Huh, guess my opinion on WTF happened at the start of the 2012 Belgian GP wasn't as unpopular as I thought.
So did Vettel deserve a race ban too? I think that'd be very harsh
@moi paslui thing is hamilton lost a bit of his wing while 2 championship contenders and i think 2 others went out. it was also a lot bigger of a crash
I always thought the Grosjean ban was harsh, at least how it was presented. Maybe this wasn't the logic behind the scenes, but from the outside it looked like they were penalising based on outcomes rather than behaviours. I'm not saying Grosjean's antics that season shouldn't have added up to a race ban, just that it's not how it was presented.
3:45 He was also given a lifetime ban from competing in Monaco by the ACM for that incident. That was only overturned after Pastor's father offered to pay for the marshal's recovery and rehab (for a broken back no less)
Top-notch content as always, genuine thank you for the immense amount of time you clearly put into your videos.
Erik Stitt you understand what he does perfectly a huge amount of time and expertise goes into give us these brilliant videos and is beginning to stand josh apart from the others I think

To be fair, if you play the video backwards, it tells the history of a man who joined the track mid-race, saved some friends from crashing and always made it safely to the end.
Whenever you post, it's like a party. Keep up the great work, mate!
8:08 Nakajima of the north star 😂😂
I’m so happy you collabed with Tommo
I’m re watching this in 2021 and we have to actually say which masterpiece of romain Grosjean we are referring to
So what i’m hearing is, George Russell is a slightly more successful version of Pastor Maldonado!
He was way too liable to total mental breakdown and red mist when beaten, and didn't learn.
He had a sense of entitlement and it seemed that he didn't pick his battles, hurting his own race due to brain fade.
Look at his refusal to yield in Monaco 2011 vs Lewis.
Lunatic.
Palmer was a far better driver, who genuinely doesn't deserve the negativity he gets, having a P6 at Singapore in his penultimate race!
Palmer wasn't dirty either, his F2 season win vs Nasr was beyond impressive, and his analysis now is spot on!
Maldonado only had his really long career due to the insane amount of money behind him, same as Petrov etc.
18:12 the number 13 is considered unlucky because Judas was the 13th Disciple. In case anyone was wondering.
I watched every race (and most qualifyings) of 2012 season and remember being quite impressed with Maldonado's pace, especially in quali. But yeeaahh... he does does deserve his infamy.
“It is actually quite exciting when you’re flying headfirst into a barrier”
- Pastor Maldonado
Lol, I'm a Maldonado... Great in Qualyfiing but a mess in Race
I will now always chose Maldonado in any game where he is available!
There was four new drivers on the grid for 2011, Di Resta and d'Ambrosio too
Didn't Pastor Maldonado race with Ferrari alongside Michael Schumacher in the early 2000's where the team ordered Pastor to let Michael by so he could win the championship even though it was only the 6th round of the season? Can anyone tell me which driver that was?
Alright, I'm on to my what, 10th rewatch of this video I think now? Just too good
I remember that swipe at Spa during qualifying, I wrote a comment on a UA-cam video saying 'Maldonarsehole', it got a lot of likes 😅
Your channel is great... you should name it the wind tunnel 🤣🤣🤣
I always assumed he's still involved in an ever continuing crash.
18:12 "The number 13 in motorsport is uhh... well, you're asking for trouble
But then again, he WAS trouble"
Yeah, that's Maldonado in a nutshell XD
Age is just a number:
Alonso and Kimi: "Hold my beer"
He ran over a marshall, Dumbledore said calmly
Almost seemed like he was his worst enemy. When he stuck to the plan and showed patience he did well, but when he became over aggressive it just shot him in the foot
Hmmmm… are we sure he wasn’t the chief test driver for development of the Ford Mustang?
10:11 I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT FOOTAGE FOR AGES. I honestly was starting to think it was a false memory.
Other than the accent, you can always tell a Brit from an American based on the big words they use. If you pulled out “acrimonious” in Alabama, people would stare at you like you were insane, no exaggeration
He lived up to his moniker, Crashtor Maldonado
Let's be honest: Maldonado's teammate in his final season at Williams was Bottas Beta version, not yet Bottas 1.0
Maldonado was just an incredibly fast driver that couldn’t get out of his own way. Shame…
You've been hit by,
You've been struck by,
PASTOR MALDONALDO
Is that the Kerbal Space Program music in the background at 18:25?
Maldonado didn't outpace Rubens overall, neither in points or qualifying. Williams made a huge mistake by keeping him for 2012 as Barrichello would pair just fine with Bruno and due to his vast experience, he would've collected far more points compared to Maldonado. But what can you say about this team. They even killed Ayrton. That's why they pay the price so hard today. Justice is being served..
What's with that American Airlines at 11:26?
I know of most air disasters, though Melbourne and 2012 combination doesn't ring a bell. Did I overlook something?
Wait, his name is actually Pastor Maldonado?!?! I always thought he was born Crashtor Maldonado. I mean, it seemed to fit so I never questioned it.
I think the title of this video should be "WTF Didn't Happen To Pastor Maldonado?"
He's the irl version of the average f1 video game player, speedy but always gets into accident
Things I’m scared of:
Spiders
Clowns
Maldonado within DRS range
The 3rd one is real SCARY

Maldonado would have been much more at home in the FIA Rallycross championship, given the rough-and-tumble nature of that sport.
Touring car drivers would call him too aggressive
He would drive off a cliff accidentally
@@jamievangramberg5877 are there any rallycross tracks with cliff edges?
Or maybe NASCAR?
PASTOR, YOU'RE BREAKING THE CAR

Yea same. Still getting used to the steering wheel and pedal setup. Not quite dialed in yet
"Oh! Oh! Oh!
I know!
Let's put Grosjean and Maldonado in the same car and see what happens."

Hamilton's greatest rival? Rosberg? Alonso? Vettel?
Nah, it's Maldonado, hands down.
When Hamilton retires, F1 will definitely dedicate a video series to him and his greatest rivals like they did with Schumacher.
Pastor should be part of it.
Lewis isn't that good he has always been in the best car for most of his seasons
@Lightning Ace24 what about when jenson button was there he scored more points throughout 3 seasons then lewis
@@zachroberts7270 Good cars don't just happen. Engineers design cars based on theory but need reliably fast drivers with some mechanical sympathy to give feedback in testing to develop a good prototype into a race-winning car.
Not a Lewis Hamilton fan. However Lewis has won a race in every season he has competed in. He should have won the 2012 season but for some incredible cock-ups from Mclaren
Zach Roberts This video of Maldonado is a clear reminder that it is not always the car. Maldonado would have achieved way more in F1 if he wasn't always crashing and getting himself in trouble. Take for example that race in Valencia where he crashed into the side of Hamilton while trying to overtake. A driver with a better race craft would have chosen a better spot to overtake as he was clearly faster than Lewis at that point.
The years that Lewis didn't have a good car, he still managed to win races and finish a lot of times on the podium. The only F1 driver till date that has always managed to win at least a race in all the seasons he has participated. That's talent, not just car.
I still can't believe how this guy wasn't banned from F1 during his 5 seasons. I also can't believe that Lotus had Maldonado and Grosjean for 2 entire seasons xD
Keep in mind that this is before grosjean being crowned as the king of crashes
@@bullettime8760 yeah grosjean has a few podiums
but pastor has 1 win

@@imibuks-replit well, grosjean has 10 podium against dominant redbull, ferrari, and his teammate Raikkonen.. that's still good man
@@imibuks-replit pastor was fast in 2012 lol
4:01
There were two wrecked cars and he managed to hit both of them.
That takes talent.
Especially when they're on opposite sides of the track
AND while being under yellow flag.
Goated
Wall tap skills are unmatched
Imagine if he kept his cool like he did in Spain for his entire time in F1.
Though to be honest, if he wasn't going to mature as a driver by the time he was 26 then it wasn't gonna happen as he hit 30.
Even if he kept his cool, he wouldn't have survived. Why? PDVSA ran out of money for pet projects. Whatever little is left, it's for the pockets of those running the Co.
JC Marin if he performed that well all the time sponsor money wouldn’t matter as much to the teams, after all results on track decide championship money
- Lotus(Lots Of Truble Usually Serieous)
- Grosjean and Maldonado behind the wheel
- The ugliest front wing ever
- Sochi autodrom
- Number 13
- Renault power unit
What could possibly go wrong?
*second most ugly.
The 2014 caterham takes that prize
And the fact Pastor loved to create gaps that didn’t exist. It really is a huge surprise.
You know about the frase "dead on arrival"? This is worse, this is dead before being conceived
Ironically Maldonado's best finish of his Lotus career was at Sochi lol
Thomas Hayhurst
2014 toro Rosso is ghastly as well
It's actually insane how fast he was, but how poor he was at delivering on it. If he was as good in the races as he was in qualifying, the 2012 season may have produced a top 6 result.
Is there any other drivers like that? Very fast in qualifying but terrible in race?
@@SahiPie kinda bottas?
@p m a nahh Lance was so good in the race but the fresh inters after the stop killed his race
i have a feeling Maldonado would be a really good Time Attack driver
I lost it when he won that race and after that his car caught fire... It's just so damn hilarious I can't stop laughing
Im pretty sure ne won the race and Bruno's car caught fire
He has more podiums than Hulkenberg 🐸 ☕️
O O O O O F
And Maldonado score more penalty points than Hulkenberg
Maldanado scored more penalties even be4 entering f1
and wins that Lando Norris and Nick Heidelfield
Well he became the Lord of the sport. That's the greatest achievement in my opinion
All hail Lord Maldonado
And savior.
Hamilton: end of lap 3 "oh man... Tyres are gone"
Maldonado: gazes wistfully at stratosphere
Ive lately started playing sim racing, I've also discovered Im literally pastor maldonado lmaoo, hot laps are on point but I can't stay contact free when other cars are on the track for shit
"Where in the world is Pastor Maldonado?"
He's probably exchanging insurance information with Carmen San Diego after getting in a wreck with her.
Yeah I don't know, where is he
Living a happy life with his wife and lovely two little girls. His life long PR manager stated In a recent IG live that he'll be on track. "Pastor will be back on the tracks".
So in short, he was good driver, but a terrible racer
"Pastor Maldonado has retired"
Looking at all these F1 drivers competing online during quarantine, I realize now Pastor was racing like he was on F1 game online lobby in real life.
Young Woo Park hopefully you didn’t get to see Esteban Gutierrez this Sunday
Pastor Maldonaldo is basically how all of us play in an F1 game for the first time
"If you no longer go for a gap that doesn't exist, Make one."
- idk some guy named maldonado or something
The Lotus Team with that car, Grosjean AND Pastor is just stuff of nightmares
Corona Extra Maldonado to Haas for 2021? Just think how Guenther Steiner would be in that Drive to Survive.

That duo should have been dubbed "The Crash Dummies".
When you look at his junior career stats, it's actually much better than pay drivers in the 90s
I am a racing driver myself and I know from early Kart days that tunnel vision is a thing. So, its very hard to see something like a pit board or a flag when you are focussing on the track or something else. With exhaustion over the race this is getting worse and worse. I believe that is what happened to Maldonado at all of his "yellow flag incidents". After a while you get used to it, but maybe the speeds driven in F1 were too much for him, and I cant really blame him.
You saw him also struggle a lot with controls, while managing something on his steering wheel. So I guess he is just bad at multi tasking, which is bad because you need this as a racing driver in any serious event. Not just F1, but also in touring cars for example. The cars are so complicated and the team wants you to communicate with them and change settings in the car right on the fly in tricky conditions.
Sometimes I asked myself what he was thinking going way too fast into a corner. Also he didnt seem to be the smartest guy, when you talked to him.
Felt kind of bad for him to be honest, because he was portraited like a clown. But then again some of his accidents were really pathetic to say at least.
Dont be too hard on us, since errors are natural. Racing drivers are not perfect. We make mistakes, we push the cars and ourselves to the limit and often enough beyond. The more performance you get from a car the more scatchy it gets. Just compare of what you have achieved compared to the guy who has spon out or something.
Applies to other sports (like football) as well.
What happened to him?
He became the greatest F1 driver of all time that's what happened to him
”How about ending this battle... With a double crash?”

@@tomatopotato748 in portuguese it is "Brasil".
To be fair on the Lewis incident... Lewis pushed him off track, he literally forced Maldonado to use the run-off area. Which yeah, he should've but... No way as a racing driver would I allow someone else, while fighting for a podium to just push me off... AND NOT GET AWAY WITH IT. I actually loved that Maldonado did that to Lewis, he always pushed someone else off-track in those circumstances.
He got me a lot of overtime when I worked at Williams 😀
For those interested this is the recipe for Pasta Maldonado
First place water in you smallest pan and bring to the boil adding lots of salt.
Fling your packet of dry pasta at a wall until separated.
Throw forcefully into the boiling water
To make the sauce take one bottle of Tabasco and blend
Randomly and without clear reason take the pasta off the boil and spin off into the pantry
Blame slipper/socks
Angrily pick hot Pasta from floor and throw it into a bowl
Add sauces making sure the glass is evenly distributed
Sprinkle with carbon fiber shards
Drop bowl and lick off floor to serve
Are we gonna ignore the guy called “Will power”?
xd Yama
Yep, Will Power, Australian racing driver, moved to America to race in ChampCar, which then became Indycar in 2008. He won a championship in that series racing for team Penske

Duval In The Wall haha yeah
I mean...he did win the 2018 Indy 500 and 2014 IndyCar championship. So he’s not exactly a nobody lol

LETS GO CHAMP
Nope Ragunathan is the GOAT
Maldonado or Ragunathan?
When you're making Romain look like the pinnacle of consistency... I don't necessarily want to say you're doing something wrong, but you're definitely doing something weird
he is consistent at those years, well at least more consistent than maldonado, piquet jr, and bruno senna
He was consistent. Consistently crashing.
Florac lmao
One of the fun results of Maldonado’s race win was that in F1 2012, Maldonado was coded to be weirdly quick, and you’d usually see him in the top 10 of every race

plz do ;)
#lordmahaveer

*mind explodes*
vs nissany and taki inoue
Well Pastor won a GP and Ragunathan can barely execute a three point Turn so, Maldonado would lap him (given he could keep the car in the track)
I never thought I'd hear someone refer to them as Loti, but it definitely sounds better than Lotuses, so thank you 😂
i used to assume he was an exceptionally good driver because the first two things i ever saw him doing were turning is car around in a tiny dead end after overshooting a turn and totally spinning out wildly in heavy rain just to catch it pointing in the right direction
Man, that picture of Maldonado and Gutierrez with their cars looking at each other is amazing. Props to that cameraman.
8:51 Maldonado was one of FOUR debutants. There was also Paul di Resta and Jerome d'Ambrosio.
Mateusz Szymkiewicz
About to say, I know Di Resta is forgettable, but damn haha
yeah how did he forget the other two, i'll admit d'Ambrosio's F1 stint was pretty forgettable but still.......
Four at the start of the season, but five if you include Daniel Ricciardo who debuted with HRT later in the season.
You know you crash a lot when you make grojean look great 🤦🏻♂️
You know you're new to the sport when you think Grosjean was never good 🤦♂️
Sergeant Supreme grosjean has got 10 podiums aye I despise people like the guy above who hates on every driver.
Grosjean is good when he's on the right car, 2013 season is really good for him
Maldonado hits someone in corner - 10 place grid penalty
Hamilton does the same thing and almost kills someone - 10 second stop go penalty
Tommo: He was always liable to a bit of an incident.
Everyone watching this video: YoU dOnT SaY!
17:54 the best way to explain this car
How maldonado managed to win a formula 1 race without crashing is still keeping me up at night
I've never felt that Lewis Valencia incident was Pastors fault. He's on the inside, he can't disappear. Lewis should have given him room.
Maybe. But any smart driver would concede the position and try again
but he was off track so no matter what it is ONLY his responsibility to reenter the track in a safe manner.
Lewis probably shouldve given more room but its still on Pastor not to try and force his way back onto the track, but instead wait for the next opportunity, which would've been more smart
Also says something about the drivers' mentalities, Pastor said he wouldnt do anything different if the situation happened again, whereas Lewis said he probably should've let him past
Pastor went off the track, did not slow down while off track and reentered dangerously while simultaneously ramming into Lewis. Its 100% Pastor's fault.
@@Sephiroth32vergil Paston went of the track because Lewis did not leave him space to stay on the track, i agree that Pastor should've backed of to rejoin safely but you can't say it was 100% Pastors fault
I cried when our Venezuelan anthem sounded in the Spanish grand prix.
