As did Vettel!

I can't see PM in a Ferrari or Red Bull anytime soon, but the difference bwtween De Crasher and Maldonado is that whereas Andrea came through the ranks too quickly a la Verstappen, when he wasn't really ready for the big time, Pastor has at least had several seasons in GP2 to try and become a bit more 'rounded.'

On balance it seems to have worked but he still has a lot of learning to do, if he has the patience and mental capacity....
