Nelson Piquet Junior

[Matthew Gutteridge]

Pah! He can big up what he's done in other Formula's but he needs to remember he's nothing NOTHING without Flav

 

[Mark Birney]

Wasn't it his father who got him the Renault seat?

 

[Matthew Gutteridge]

Yes, but it was Flav that gave him it, he's absolutley nothing without him.

 

[Mark Birney]

So he just disappears leaving behind a poof of smoke, is it?

 

[Matthew Gutteridge]

In my wildest and most hopeful dreams, the answer to that question is yes.

 

[mightiestmike]

He'll be driving dutch touring cars at the most...A bit of a cry baby, this statement ruined any chances for a seat in F1 ever again imho. Maybe his fathers wallet can help him....

But then again, maybe I'm prejudiced....

 

[Kevin Watts]

So with all thats gone on in the past week and it looks like Piquet Jnr was telling the truth does that still pose questions over his integrity? or was he just a rookie driver put in a very difficult position?

If you were a team boss in F1 would you hire Piquet Jnr? Reasons for and against?

 

[James Johnson]

No Just No. Him and His Dad are too much trouble even without these issues.

 

[Richard Kay]

Yes. I'm sure he'd make a good dishwasher.

 

[Damian Henderson]

Why not.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

People that only tell the thruth when they benefit from it, no I i won't hire him. He would have earned my respect if he came forward right away! But not starting to cry after a year.

But he played the game along just like the teams management! Only drivers without the right mentality for F1 would crash their cars on purpose, when somebody tells them to. A true sportsman always wants to win!

 

[Martin Bulgin]

He was very good in the lower formulas and I dont think he was given a fair crack of the whip at Renault due to Flabio undermining him, if he made a mistake the camera would cut to Briatore rolling his eyes, in the right team I am sure he could do very well, as for his dad, he is a three time world champion and deserves more respect IMO.

 

[Adam Vaughan]

No coz hes a snitch!

 

[Yves Larose]

i answered no, if in fact he was told to crash ( we haven't heard the case yet ) and a years later after beeing put to the side he come up with this in my opinion its just a case of revenge, pure childish stuff. the guy wasn't delievering the result pure and simple and its also prove that he is not a team player.

 

[Ross Balfour]

No not just coz he is a snitch but because he is crap!!

 

[Xosé Estrada]

Same here.

If he after Singapur goes to fia and say it, yes of course, for being sportive, legal and a integer person.

If he just continue normally until he can use it as revenge, no thanks.

 

[Omer Said]

I would hire him...

To have a great excuse for my team to why it's always finishing last

 

[Kevin Watts]

I wouldn't hire him and he should also be facing charges alongside Renault, Symonds and Briatore for bringing the sport into disrepute. As Bram says he only came clean when it suited him.

 

[Mark Birney]

If he is good, perhaps.

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

no, i wouldn't hire him as an driver.

There are much better drivers on the market, which probably cost less then Piquet Jr.
