Well, not quite. For 2014, vacancies arose at Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren... three of the top teams all of whom don't require drivers to bring a budget. Collectively they opted to pass on Hulkenberg, di Resta, Bottas etc... which means that [in their eyes] these drivers don't bring enough in terms of talent. They're ostensibly in the same broad category as Maldonado... fighting for seats in the midfield... where money matters and Maldonado has the edge. It's an unremarkable situation really.

I think what we'd like to see is talent rather than money reign supreme outside of the top 3 or 4 teams... but for that to happen, team budgets need to be brought back to that $40M cap agreed a few years back.
