Pastor Maldonado snapte Renault eigenlijk wel: "Ik weet dat je moet betalen"

Door Robertjan Vos van Zalingen9 juni 2016 · 12:48 uur1 min lezen

Pastor Maldonado raakte begin 2016 zijn zitje bij het team van Renault kwijt. Zijn sponsor, PDVSA, kon het benodigde budget niet overmaken naar de Franse renstal. Maldonado werd vervolgens snel vervangen door Kevin Magnussen. Dit was natuurlijk een bittere pil voor de eerste, maar Maldonado kan wel begrip opbrengen voor de beslissing van Renault.

"Renault begon net weer als een nieuw team, dan snap ik dat betalingen moeten worden gedaan", zei de enkelvoudig Grand Prix winnaar in gesprek met Motorsport.com. "Voor mij was het een goed moment om even pauze te nemen, zeker als ik kijk waar Renault nu staat. Volgend jaar zullen we zien."
