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?

Pity the guy. Renault needed a driver which FA doesn't feel threatened with & Flav wanted a driver who can score points. Just how do you do that?

There wouldn't be a problem for Renault to bring in someone that would be nearly as good as Alonso e.g. Vettel, Rosberg, Webber or Button, any of them would push the team forward.

The problem is Piquet has underperformed and everyone was expecting more considering he was a GP2 champion and you don't win that by luck and he was also on a par with Shamilton, he has probably got about 5-6 races to prove himself that he can be in the points and be close to Alonso. I fear he can't do what Kovalainen did last year due to the fact Heikki was racing a dead wood in Fisichella.

Piquet was signed to race the car even when Alonso was still tightly locked into his McLaren contract. Piquet was testdriver last year, so should know how the car works.
I don't buy this "Alonso needed a weaker teammate" and "Piquet underperforms because of teamorders". Rubbish.
Piquet makes too many mistakes, needs too much time to learn the tracks and the car and was overhyped because of Hamilton's performance last year. What Flavio should have done was park Piquet in a STR or Force India for a year, where he could learn and blame the car for poor performance.

It's interesting how the things have turned:
Just a few races ago Briatore was quoted saying (quite optimistically ) that Piquet has done "A damn good job"....
