you mean this rightKind of says it all when he crashes into a curb and wrecks the suspension on a demo run in Venezuela!
Think the bumps caught him out. F1 cars are extremely stiff.I laughed so hard when I opened the F1 News App on Chrome and read "Maldonado crashes during during demo" hahaha. Did he just not realize that curb was there?
I wonder how much is left of his sponsorship money.
It seems he might have caused Williams more repair costs then what they got from him at the beginning of the year.
For demos like this they have more grippy tyres, as you can see those don't look like Pirelli's, not to mention for a road course they'd setup the car a lot different so bumps wouldn't affect it as much. From this video I can't even tell what he did, but it doesn't look like a bump.Think the bumps caught him out. F1 cars are extremely stiff.
But yes, i can see the irony in the whole thing
They run Pirelli´s it´s essentially rain tyres. Or "demo" tires.For demos like this they have more grippy tyres, as you can see those don't look like Pirelli's, not to mention for a road course they'd setup the car a lot different so bumps wouldn't affect it as much.

I watched I think it was the Red Bull car a few months ago and they ran which looked like old tyres from the 2006 year. The reason I say they don't look like they're from this year is I can't see the colour of the tyre on the outside of the tyre.They run Pirelli´s it´s essentially rain tyres. Or "demo" tires.
You can´t physically set up a F1 car to be soft enough to run on normal roads.
Even the softest springs will be massively stiffer then anything you can imagine.
He has won a race with Alonso hounding him. He knows how to drive F1 cars in all condiitons.
It´s a freak accident that plays into his already established myth.
I don't mind doing itWell I don't won't to hate on the guy but on youtube you will find a lot of other incidents he have been in from the lower series.
The reason why I choose this video is because of the "Opa Opa!"
