F1 Drivers Develop Perfect English In Their Press Releases

This is Pastor Maldonado, a Venezuelan, talking naturally:

This is the same guy in the official press release announcing that he will be staying with Williams in 2012:

“This has been a tough season for the whole team but it has given me personally the opportunity to learn and develop. I am convinced that the steps we have taken to improve our competitiveness will bear fruit in 2012 and beyond. I am thrilled to be part of that and also to represent the people of Venezuela in Formula One.”

Perfect English and nice use of the phrase “bear fruit”.

(Just a bit of fun, you understand. I’m perfectly aware that all press release content is generated by one person — the team’s Press Officer.)
