"I behaved in good faith," he complained on the 'Italiaracing' website, "but let Maldonado be nicked from me."
Last November, 19-year-old Maldonado made his F1 debut in a Minardi at Misano. Gian Carlo Minardi, at the time, hinted that a youngster at the circuit has 'a future' on the F1 grid. Now, though, Pastor's in Renault's 'driver development programme.'
