i think ive finally had enough of NP, i dont like him and also think hes a bit crap! i mean not making even p2, thats poor, over 7 tenths off fa, its just not good enough

and now AD has no drive i would def like to see somone different in asap

[racechick]

No he didnt look good but i think he must be under tremendous presure
a) to perform against FA as imprssively as LH did
b) To do the above with the odds stacked decidedly against him (FA and Flavio wont let him compete)
I dont think he's as bad as he's looking at the moment. He is in a very frustrating situation.
But renault cant have it both ways a rookie thats kept down to suit FA or a fast proven driver that will piss off FA

[al4x]

renault wouldnt purposly give np worse material than FA when hes this poor, i always thought hk showed more promise than NP has, i just really want him out

and youd want to see AD in wouldnt you

[racechick]

yes id love to see Anthony in (Piquet's cuter though )
No, I dont think renault would give piquet worse equipment-dont think Pat would allow it, but neither would they let him challenge and it may be frustrating him and causing him to overdrive...just a thought.

No offense Alx4, but Renault are crap. Just look. Alonso just made the top 10. He got 8th in Q2. NP is less experienced than Alonso so if Alonso could only manage 8th what do you expect from NP?

[racechick]

Not bad for Lewis on the hards- it is something with him and soft tyres isnt it? It looked a right handfull on hards but still better for lewis than softs

[al4x]

i expect more than 17th! renault arent crap, they are just average atm, ahead of williams, STR, honda and with toyota, rbr

wait for the budget cap where honda and toyota fall away and renault make more gains and surpass the rest, alot of teams wouldnt be anywhere without there 300 million team spending

Hopefully they get better. If Alonso can get the car to a more competitve level which he seems to slowly be doing then once NP has the car to do well, then he will. It is frustrating I know Al4x. After the first 2 races of the season I was saying things like Ferrari should ditch Massa. Not a fair comment as it probably wasn't Massa's fault. The 2 races after that proved me wrong as he won in Bahrain, got 2nd in Spain and is on pole in Istanbul. I hope I don't eat my words now because if Massa stuffs up I will.

this is exactly the way Fernando wants his team mate to be though

*LOL*. That is so true Bud. I was literally giggling as well when I read your comments. The truth can make people laugh sometimes, even when it is sad......

[al4x]

which is annoying cause i want renault for the championship rather than FA for the title,

[racechick]

FA is just not a team player, he will always put himself first to the detriment of team and teammate. (GP2 just starting on ITV4 )

Do you seriously think a team will stack the odds against their driver when said driver fails to even make it past Q1 ???
"Piquet, you are about to reach Q2... ease off"
it's ok that you dislike Alonso because he didn't allow being used by Dennis and Lewis, and even Briatore because he is flashy (and kinda funny)... but man they're not in F1 because they are stupid.

Piquet is just doing awful because he was not even ready to make the jump to F1. He was put there because of some marketing / sponsor deal, not based on his talents.

Espanola you see he was doing very well in GP2 he finished second to Lewis in the championship in 06 so he did enough to earn a race seat.

Maybe Renault are just favouring Fernando afterall thats the way he wants it to be in "his" team. which is why he had a cry last year and led people like you to beleive he couldnt possibly be beaten by a rookie without the team favoring said rookie
