Williams have signed ex-Ferrari driver Felipe Massa to join promising Finn Valtteri Bottas.<br /><br />Pastor Maldonado<br />• Born: 10/03/85, Maracay<br />• Nationality: Venezuelan<br />• Career wins: 1<br />• Career pole positions: 1<br />• 2013 points total: 1<br /><br />Nico Hulkenberg<br />• Born: 19/08/87, Emmerich am Rhein<br />• Career wins: 0<br />• Career pole positions: 1<br />• 2013 points total: 51Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125355648059480100.post-76303191207989376852012-09-02T18:29:14.426-07:002012-09-02T18:29:14.426-07:00Pastor Madonado es tremendo chulo e incompetePastor Madonado es tremendo chulo e incompeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
