I'm quite concerned about what happened to him in Malaysia, to be honest. His car had been riding very low all weekend, so I wonder if it had been catching the floor. It was very strange.

100% agree with you, I think Heikki is getting it pretty hard but I like the Finn and believe he is a talent that should not be wasted under any circumstances. Maybe Ferrari should be a good mood

From F1 Live:

Renault on Tuesday strongly rejected reports that Nelson Piquet expressed frustration to the media about his role at the team.

By the Italian and Spanish press, and based on an interview with the British magazine F1 Racing, the 23-year-old Brazilian was quoted as musing negatively about his status alongside teammate Fernando Alonso and boss Flavio Briatore.

"The comments are completely distorted as a result of an extremely poor translation from English and were reported out of context as Nelson responded in a light-hearted manner to irreverent questions submitted by the magazine's fans," a statement issued by the French team said.

Piquet himself said he is "a very happy member" of the team, insisting his relationships with Alonso and Briatore are "excellent."

"I'm amazed how my words have been completely misrepresented by the press.
It's a pity that I have to find myself clarifying what I said," the Brazilian declared.

"I'm a very happy member of the ING Renault F1 Team and I have an excellent relationship with everybody, including Fernando and Flavio."

"I've never had any reason to believe that I was treated in an unfair way and I have no doubt about the team's support," Piquet added.

Haha. I love this thread.

Nelson Piquet Junior Is a good driver, may not be good a F1 but he is a good driver; but never the less most driver like Massa have had to go the long way to fund there F1 career. Nelson has had it easy with him funding a team for him in every series so far.....Now that's what I call having it easy? Now he is not Daddy's boy and he is not numero 1! Fernando is and he's going to have to show some raw pace soon or Di Grassi will get a shot at Renault.

Ohh i totally agree with you, But i don't see how he has landed that seat in F1 i think Di Grassi should have a 1 race shot, but i bet his father is paying them $125,000 and Renault are only paying him $270,000
