Maldonado: Why 2012 will be my breakthrough

Much excitement inevitably surrounds Bruno Senna's move to Williams for 2012. But what about the man he has to beat? Senna's new team-mate Pastor Maldonado didn't have much chance to prove himself with last year's dire FW33, but the Venezuelan is still highly rated by those who have followed his rollercoaster career.
