I don't think things have changed that much, but I can understand people being upset about Maldonado/Hulkenberg. In the mid nineties you had pay drivers everywhere, and some of them like Pedro Diniz and Shinji Nakano managed to get themselves in good midfield drives, and pretty much wasted them. That 1997 Prost was potentially a race winning car in the hands of Panis and Trulli for instance, sub that for a 2013 Lotus and I'm thinking "at least Maldonado has actually got a race win on his CV"

It is a huge shame for Hulkenberg and I'd argue that he HAS proved again and again good enough for a strong, paid seat in F1. Kovalainen and co, nah. Heikki had his chance in a McLaren and was pretty crap.
