Rewind: Hugo Chavez Gets Support From Pastor Maldonado (VIDEO)

(2012) Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez got the support from Williams' Pastor Maldonado, while running for President in 2012. Having won election as President for a fourth time last year in October, Chavez was set to lead the OPEC nation for six more years. Many also believed that Maldonado's F1 future was secured after the re-election, due to the fact that his career is being supported by the state-owned oil company PDVSA. On Tuesday March 5, Vice President Nicolás Maduro announced on state television that Chávez had died in Caracas. (in Spanish)
