Renault has confirmed that Nelson Piquet will remain with the team for the Hungarian Grand Prix, after renewed speculation about his future surfaced during the Nurburgring weekend.
Piquet has yet to score this year, and has only outqualified his team-mate Fernando Alonso once in their season and a half together. AUTOSPORT understands that a performance clause in the Brazilian's contract could have allowed Renault to drop him after the German race, and team boss Flavio Briatore initially refused to confirm that he would be kept on.
But Renault has now entered Piquet for the Hungaroring as usual, and he is optimistic that he will be much stronger next weekend as from Hungary his car will also receive the upgrades that Alonso used in Germany. It is believed that his contract stipulates equal equipment to his team-mate, so he is being given a further opportunity to show what he is capable of.
Sebastien Bourdais被開除後,下一個要被清算的對象預料是Nelson Piquet Jr 本來Briatore已經要在德國GP後將他掃地出門,不過因為Piquet一直未換上跟Alonso一樣的新空力套件 匈牙利GP時車隊才正式要將他的車換上新空力套件,所以給他最後一次機會,看看換空力套件後有沒有起色 雖然沒人明講,但是大家應該都知道,這是Piquet的最後補考了,只要Piquet再沒拿到積分,應該就要莎喲哪哪了 取代人選可能暫定Renault自家培養的車手Lucas di Grassi 或Romain Grosjean
