there is nothing wrong about being ambitious, but piquet should be a bit more realistic so as to avoid being labelle a "bighead". assuming that mclaren and ferrari have the new rules sussed, it will probably be a lock out. then there is bmw who are now challenging. if renault can get back in the hunt, alonso will shine, so even if the renault was better than all the rest, the very best that piquet could achieve is eighth. then there is vettel and other hotter drivers. however, i suppose miracles CAN happen!

F1 » Piquet aiming for 'regular podiums' in '09

Having been granted a stay of execution in Formula 1, Nelsinho Piquet has revealed that he has shifted the goalposts somewhat - and is aiming, with Renault's increased competitiveness, to be 'regularly' on the podium in 2009.

Throw the dog a bone and he will be happy to chew it day in day out… meat or no meat.

This guy is being unrealistic isn't he?

To get on the podium he has to be within this group:

Alonso
Hamilton
Kimi
Massa
Kubica
Vettel
Heikki

Does Piquet belong in this group?
He has to compete with 7 drivers there to get a podium...

He'll be up on the podium a few times next year. He'll go up everytime Alonso wins a race to collect the winning constructors trophy. :-)

You never know...
He did very well in GP2...
New rules... new cars...
To say or ask if he belongs to this or that group? Not sure it's fair to judge NP driving abilities yet.
I say next year will be hs real F1 test.
Never know...

Charlie Clark, to be on the podium you need to beat all other 19 drivers, not just the 7 drivers that you mention...
