It appears Lotus have signed Maldonado for a three year deal after talks with Nico Hulkenberg broke down.
I had called this on Twitter a while back, and now that it's happened I wish I was wrong. Hulkenberg despite his commitment issues is far more deserving based on this year alone for a drive. I know Lotus have struggled for cash this year but signing Maldonado to me seems desperate.
One thing's for sure, and not one person on this planet will argue with me:
He's no bloody Kimi Raikkonen.
