Pastor Maldonado (F1, WEC)

To his detractors he is known as “Crashtor” but Maldonado made 95 F1 starts in his career for Williams and Lotus and he won 2012 Spanish Grand Prix. Yes he did crash a lot but he is an F1 race winner and not many folks can say that.

Most recently the Maracay, Venezuela native has driven for DragonSpeed in the WEC.
