In the lead-up to Sunday's Korean Grand Prix Williams F1 driver Pastor Maldonado was asked as to his future and he answered that he would like to remain at Williams for 2013.

Prior to today's interview Pastor indicated that his options were open for 2013, including a move to another team. But in the FIA Press Conference Pastor suggested that another year with Williams would be his preferred option. Pastor said: “To be honest I really want to stay with Williams. It's a good team and the team is getting better and better every day.

“We’ve been rebuilding everything in the team and I think now it’s more compact and the car is looking every day better and better. So good confidence with them but at the moment there is not confirmation. So looking forward to seeing that but otherwise looking forward to remaining in Formula One for sure.”

As to his prospects in the up-coming Korean Grand Prix Pastor said that targeting an appearance in Q3 as his first aim for the weekend. “I hope to have a competitive car and a part of that is to be quite competitive in quali. We missed a couple of tenths in the last qualifying in Suzuka and we were out of Quali 3. It was quite a good pace during the race but we are really looking forward here to being in Quali 3 and very competitive. But it’s very difficult to know exactly where we’ll be.”

For some reason Maldonado's comments strike me as a reaction on his part to PDVSA not being a sure thing next year. Sets off some alarm bells in my brain.

It's probably nothing. Like that one time I though that Rubens's whining was down to him being on the way out, to be substituted by a mediocre compatriot. Yeah. It's probably nothing.
