In my opinion he shows in the past that he's got some talent. And i think that a driver with talent need a year to adept to F1. You can be a testdriver for 10 years but racing is a totaly different story. There are drivers who are directly on it but those drivers are rare.Other drivers need some time and most of them starts in a back- or midfield team a not as team mate of a 2 times champion. The problem at Renault is that they see racing only as a business. Briatore said it many times before: he's a business man and not a racing nut. But in the basis F1 is still a sport. Look at Heikki, this year he shows his real talent and is as good as Hamilton. But Hamilton, is he better than 2007?

I suppose Grosjean''s success in GP2 is giving him the hurry up too. I''d imagine Renault would be very tempted to have a Frenchman and (possibly) a GP2 Champion in their team.

Piquet hasn''t impressed me at all this year. His results in F3/GP2 have shown he gets better as the season wears on and then mounts a challenge the next year, but time is one thing you don''t have in F1 and he seems to be suffering as a result.

very disappointed in Piquet. Alonso has totally out performed him. But it shows how class Hamilton is cos it took Hamilton just one season to blow Alonso away.Piquet''s rubbish driving just enlightens the fact at how class Hamilton is.In GP2,Piquet was right there with Hamilton,but in F1 he''s to be found wanting

could it be that Piquet, with a team boss of Briatore and a team mate of Alonso, simply isn't allowed to compete for fear of precious fernando spitting his dummy out again?

He has in addition hurt Alonso.. Alonso can do his own program but would like additional information from the second car to help the team. Piquet has done nothing to provide that additional info as he is usually not on the track. Bourdais would be a nice replacement.

agree with you mario, also I think that a driver may be very talented but only to a certain level..i.e. piquet jnr may have been the mutts nuts coming up through the lower formulae up to GP2 but may not have the extra little bit to cope successfully in F1,look at anthony davidson he's highly rated as a tester but can't cut it in F1 I know he didn't get a top seat but he didn't impress enough to catch anyones eye did he?, I don't know for sure it's just a view and before I get slated I'm NOT anti Piquet Jnr, although I will admit I couldn't stand his dad and his primadonna ways

He should work hard! Otherwise his fellow countryman Di Grassi could take his seat!
