Pastor Maldonado, Williams’ busy in Venezuela during summer break – Formula 1 news
Pastor Maldonado has been busy even while the rest of the Formula 1 fraternity takes off for the summer break as he was on a publicity trip to meet fans in Venezuela.
Maldonado with escorted with the Williams team were part of this whole week of publicity at Venezuela which has given little time to the team to rest in the summer break.
Sir Frank Williams also arrived at Caracas and the highlight of the visit is going to be on Sunday when the local boy Maldonado will be driving the car round the capital of the city’s national monument, Los Proceres in front of his home crowd.
The event is expected to attract around 20,000 visitors from Venezuela and other parts of the world.
“I'm a proud Venezuelan and I can't wait to return home on the back of my win earlier this season at the Spanish Grand Prix,” Maldonado said. “I've always received lots of support from my fellow countrymen and this trip is an opportunity to give something
back to those in Venezuela who have helped me get to where I am today.”
“We receive fantastic support there,” Williams said. “With the various events planned this is our chance to bring the excitement of Formula One closer to the fans and thank those who continue to support us.”
Maldonado has had an eventful season so far, he secured his maiden victory at the Spanish Grand Prix marking history but since has not been able to score any points for his team Williams. He has been struggling to curb his ambitious driving and has on occasion
not been able to finish of races.
The Venezuelan though has promised that he will be behaving better on the track with his driving and will also be looking to score more points for his team, but whether he is able to do it or not will only be found out after the break.
The Belgian Grand Prix is the next stop for the Formula 1 teams, and it will be interesting to see how Maldonado performs at the race and in the ones to come for the remainder of the season.
