Sunday's Bahrain GP crowned Mercedes domain as they made a 1-2 with Hamilton and Rosberg, but I preferred to get another moment, with credits going to Pastor Maldonado, driving his Lotus, confirming that the black-gold team always have reckless driver in the pack, role that some years ago was of Romain Grosjean.
If it wasn't enough to him to sing "I believe I can fly" after going right into a kerb on Friday's Free Practice 2, he did more. On the lap 41, he missed the brakes at turn 1, and the Sauber of Esteban Gutierrez, which was right in front of him, was literally flipped up. Gutierrez saw the world upside down, but hit the ground upwards. The mexican got a broken suspension and a DNF, and the whole incident caused a yellow flag. Maldonado, incredibly, got only a 10-seconds stop & go penalty as punishment, as well a 5-position penalty in Chinese GP's grid.
