Pastor Maldonado is incredibly gifted… at picking up all sorts of penalties. Whether it’s speeding in the pitlane, deliberately crashing into his rivals or jumping the start; Yep, Pastor’s done them all.
But in Bahrain Pastor managed to add a new one to his ever growing collection of penalties.

He was meant to start the race from 16th, so where do you think he tried his luck starting from? 15th? 14th? Nope, 18th.
Yes, in a penalty that surely only Pastor Maldonado could have achieved, he managed to be penalised for starting two grid slots back from where he was meant to have started the race.
Cheating, you’re doing it wrong.
