By the Italian and Spanish press, Nelson Piquet has been quoted as expressing frustration about his role alongside Fernando Alonso at Renault.

"I would like a situation in which the team looks towards me," he admitted.

So they can watch you crash more???

Spite what people say; I believe there is talent beneath him. Formula 1 doe not just put anyone in a F1 car, unless you’re Sebastian Bourdais! But I believe that is true. If you’re a stepdaughter you are not going to be favoured over the real daughter are you? That is how any team member will be. Remember Fisichella? The second Alonso came back he disappeared and along appeared Heikki? Alonso is talented and so is Piquet...but the second he makes himself noticed he gets kicked in the head to slow down because of Alonso. Alonso had an ear infection and Piquet was down there with him? That was they have a good car.

He's mental. If he wants a team that "looks towards him", he shouldn't have signed on as a double world champion's teammate.

Not they don't, their car sucks.

Do you mean, at Singapore where you crashed the car in to the wall before your pit stop? This is what you signed up for, Nelson...

i think he means the team asked him to crash so it worked out perfectly for Fernando and got him a win!

It seems to me that Piquet is getting his excuses in. When he signed up at Renault, he knew Fraudster Flavio would be there and that his surrogate son, Alonso, would be looking for special privileges. In other words, he was not going to be allowed to take Alonso on in a fair fight. However, that does not excuse his completely inept performances. When Irvine and Barrichello were the work-experience boys at Ferrari, you didn't see Schumacher putting the car on pole and them qualifying 15th or something. Get a life, Piquet. You're just a loser.

Bourdais has more talent in his glasses than Piquet has. When he managed to pull himself together last year he put in some performances in which he was more than a match for Vettel.

Being the fastest guy on the track at Monza, for example.

So you telling me that Renault tells Piquet to slow down because he is faster than Alonso are you also saying that Piquet was told to slow down at Malaysia because he was faster than Alonso? The Renault is crap it is nearly as bad as the McLaren! I reckon Sebastian Bourdais is not bad at all and he did well in Monza if he hadn't been unlucky then he would of definitely got second and might of won IMO. The only claims Piquet has is coming second to Lewis in GP2 and fluking a second place at Germany while letting Lewis strolled by to win the race.
[EDIT] I meant to say strolled by not stole by oops my bad

I was really surprised that Piquet didn't try and fight for an even flukier win at Hockenheim, when Lewis was bearing down on him I was expecting Piquet to play dirty and try blocking, chopping Lewis into corners etc. Something his father would have done, and then just like his father he could have fallen for a dummy move that Lewis could have set up. But what did he do? He just let him through rather tamely.

I'm saying Piquet will have talent, otherwise get down to Silver stone get on a racing school course and lets see you get into Renault? Exactly, There is talent there somewhere otherwise he would not be there. Simple. Rosberg nor Vettel started out great! Vettel got a fine the second he got in the car!!!

Piquet doesn't need to be compared to me he needs to be compared to other F1 drivers and he is worse than all of the current drivers! Though if I was to race Piquet I think even I could win because he would just crash and I would go around as slow as I like!

On that logic, James May would win too. It's the modern day version of the childrens story where the Hare and Tortoise race.

James May is not a Tortoise he won that last race against the German Top gear team!

Some say he won the challenge for them.

Others say he was bound and gagged in the cloakroom.

All we know is...He's The Sti...James.
