JacobP should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Maldonado still has gotten himself into several troublesome situations in races this year:

USGP: 1st lap incident with Sutil.
Japan: he runs Bottas off the track while overtaking on the last lap.
Belgium: he touches with both Force India cars as they overtake him, allegedly because he did not see them.

The result is that he doesn't finish the race at least twice because of his own actions. Not to terrible, but he still remains the same aggressive, hard charging, red blooded South American we have seen before. I would like to see him in 2014 again.
