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?

Give him time. Hes only just come into the European rounds, so from now he has no excuses for being off the pace at the tracks he should know.

I also think he needs time, he wasn't very impressive at all in his first year in GP2. But they should also carefully consider who would do a better job in the same car - throwing another rookie like di Grassi or Grosjean in there would be pointless. Bourdais would make more sense, as would someone like Doornbos, Klien, Sato or Davidson. These are decent and fairly experienced drivers who could provide proper input and put in some work so the team doesn't have to rely solely on Fernando. Any one of these "outcasts" would also be good "transition drivers" should they wish to sign Grosjean for 2009.

I seem to recall the Piquet's making statements along the lines that he will give Alonso a run for his money, just as Hamilton did at McLaren.

Maybe he can join Honda where you can always blame the car no matter how poor the driving.

It will be tough for him in Monaco. The team should have waited until after Monaco to issue these kind of statements. I see his race ending in the armco barriers.

Pagoda - I know that this has been debated endlessly on here but since when is finishing equal on wins and points "blowing" away the other person. It was essentially a tie. And yes Lewis was the rookie but he also had hundreds of more hours testing with the team.

Piquet Jr needs to up the ante a little although I think that he is also operating under team orders within the Renault camp. No way could I see him challenging Alonso anyway.

Dear Alonsoisasoreloser4ever so if/when Bruno Senna ever makes it to F1 it'll only be because of his uncles successes and not for showing any talent as a racing driver?

Even remembering that Piquet is only in the Renault because Alonso demanded someone he could beat as a team mate, he has been disapointing this year. And Flavio hasn't got a track record of patience with drivers.

And Mark_ - if you close that other eye, you'd be blind.
