Daniel Ricciardo has been given a reprimand following an incident with Pastor Maldonado during the first practice session.
The stewards were unhappy with the manner in which Ricciardo passed Maldonado’s Lotus in the pit lane.
“The driver of car three [Ricciardo] drove in a manner that was potentially dangerous to others in the pit lane,” the stewards ruled.
The reprimand is Ricciardo’s first of the season.

Perhaps Maldonado’s now learnt how to get stewards on his side in crashes of his own making?
Nah, probably not……

Finally, Pastor is the beneficiary of his sponsors’ money.

Actually Maldonaldo was still at fault; His well deserved reputation now spooks other drivers into making mistakes as soon as they see him. Of course this is all apart of his master plan to eventually be able to cause issues and crashes at the mere sighting of his car or murmur of his name.
