Nope, Maldonado is just a ****ing dick using his car as a weapon. All he had to do was wait until the next straight but he decided to punt Hamilton off the track after going off track himself. He's a ****ing idiot.
He's punted Hamilton twice and smashed Perez as well. Needs a race ban.
Its not just Hamilton who has been pranged though, is it? Also, Hamilton was defending his line, which he was perfectly entitled to do (however futile that was).
Maldonado just lunged from an off track position, there was no point, he would have gotten him in the next couple of laps. He's a ****ing imbecile nutter!
De Villota injured in testing
Severity of the injury as yet unknown
Marussia driver Maria de Villota has been injured during testing at the Duxford circuit in Cambridgeshire.
Although the full severity of the injury is not yet known, Sky Sports F1 sources have confirmed that De Villota required assistance from the emergency services in the wake of the crash and that Maria was unable to extract herself from the car after the collision.
It's understood that the injuries are life-threatening.
According to eye-witnesses, De Villota crashed into a stationary vehicle after locking up her rear-tyres and losing control of the Marussia whilst returning to the pits after completing a single installation lap.
Helen Brown, a Sky Sports F1 assistant producer, was one of those to witness the accident.
"We were there with a small team from Sky Sports F1 to film Maria's first run out in the Marussia. She'd been appointed a test driver for the team earlier in the season and she was out today doing some straight line speed testing at Duxford - which is the Imperial War Museum Complex - where she was going to be testing new parts for the car for the British Grand Prix this weekend," Brown told Sky Sports News.
"She left the temporary garage, she went out with one run down the straight, she turned around and came back. Everything looked fine on approach; as she approached the temporary garage where the team were based, her wheels locked and she collided into the back of one of the trucks which the team had brought along.
"We were all asked to leave about 20 minutes after the accident had happened - she was still in the car. Because it was a testing event, there was an ambulance already on site, a fire brigade on site as well. They were surrounding the car as I was leaving and she was receiving medical treatment.
"Obviously the team looked quite upset. Everyone was shaken by the incident and, as I said, everyone was asked to leave about 20 minutes later."
A team statement read: "At approximately 09.15hrs BST this morning, the Marussia F1 Team's test driver Maria De Villota had an accident in the team's MR-01 race car at Duxford Airfield where she was testing the car for the first time.
"The accident happened at the end of her first installation run and involved an impact with the team's support truck.
"Maria has been transferred to hospital. Once her medical condition has been assessed a further statement will be issued."
On a more serious note hope she's alright, sounds like a fairly nasty collision though.
We managed to rectify it, though, because it now says, "Cook" where it once said "Cock", and "Pass" where it once said "Piss", so it’s slightly less rude.
That's not the report of the accident I heard on the radio by someone who apparently saw it. They said she has slowed right down and approached the garage before inexplicably accelerating into the truck.

Yeah just watched a report on the BBC website with some guy saying the same thing
Don't think they'll be so keen to hand over a Multi Million Pound car again to someone who struggles to drive in a straight line and then park

SSN reporting that she's lost her right eye as a result of the accident
