[Driver] Maldonado: Can he be changed, can he maximise his talent, or is he a lost cause?

[chunterer]

It's long been clear to me the Pastor Maldonado has some serious natural talent behind the wheel of a racing car.

It's also long been evident to me he also has some serious issues with his temperament and ability to 'think' during a pressure situation.

Both parts of his make up have been evident in the past but most clearly this season in F1 where he has regularly qualified strongly and won his maiden race in fine style, but on the other hand has either caused or got involved in too many unnecesary and potentially dangerous incidents.

What can be done and how - can Maldonado change his ways, and if so, would that effect his abilities, can Williams make the difference so he can mature as a drive a fulfil his potential?

Or, can nothing be done, is he always going to be a loose cannon?
