This is the best thing I've seen from NP in the last two seasons. It may be a nail in the coffin, but you've risen in my esteem considerably.

Good for you.

Piquet: Flav doesn't know s*** about F1

I had to laugh when Piquet entered F1 saying he was going to do well, rival Lewis for the championship and win his own championship at some point only to find that he is rubbish.

Crikey! Renault are going to have to find another driver ASAP!

Not that it will make any difference to the amount of points they get per race.

I like the line at the bottom of the article...."Planet-F1 would like to welcome Romain Grosjean to Formula One."

Never mind eh, he can always go and do some modelling for some fashion company. He'd be better at that than dreiving a car. <LOL>

In seriousness, he has been treated badly, and if he is going to leave anyway, why not have a go? I don't think it is simply a case of sour grapes, Flavio is not a nice or reasonable guy.

I suspect he realises the hole he's in, and would rather Flabio sacked him on the spot than held him to some contract whereby he couldn't drive for anyone else that desparate to employ him in F1....

Does anyone think he'll get another chance in F1?

One of the new teams might still consider taking him on.

If I were a new team I'd sign Bourdais or Piquet. These guys were good enough in other formulas to deserve another chance.

In Piquet's case he put himself under ridiculous pressure with the comments about beating Hamilton. What Hamilton did in his rookie year was exceptional. Few could live up to that. IMO Renault should have admitted their mistake and dropped him at the end of last year. But having decided to continue with him they should at least have said he was safe for the first 8 or so races and thereby taken the pressure off.

Yes but Hamilton was in the best car.

Just like everyone else in F1 give Piquet a good car and he would win races.

Well maybe second to Alonso <roflmao>

It says that Flavio is Pique's manager as well as team boss. is that right? even with him working for you a manager it seems like your up against it.
