yeah but piquet has ruined his chances of ever coming back to F1.He is well and truly done with F1 now.

Lets be honest was he any good anyway.

Just there because of successful relative like ralf schumacher jaque vielnerve and damon hill etc.

Er Damon won a World Championship. You don't get those just cause of your name. Watched Damon's son Josh in Formula Ford on Sunday and he's pretty racy as well.

And so did jaques, in 1998 

[Khare]

both wrong. It was 1997 that he wont the F1 championship.

1997    Formula One    Rothsmans Williams Renault    1st

Does it matter? Ha ha

The point is you don't get in F1 cause of your name and certainly don't win a title because of it.

Damon Hill was crap schummacher had just moved to ferrari who were total crap at the time and he still nearly beat Hill, who if I remember correctly was in the top performing Williams.

yeah you have to be a really crap driver to be in f1 dont you  hill and villeneuve were both very good drivers

to a certain extent your name will help get you into f1, piquet's name brings loads of sponsorship with it. (maybe not anymore though haha) expect to see bruno senna make it into f1 soon as well!

ralph schumacher was pretty rubbish though! he isnt doing very well in the DTM either

This is too funny to be true, but I have just heard that Grosjean has just crashed in the exact same spot as Piquet "crashed" last year

lol brilliant !!!

1144: "Sorry guys, I lost the car in Turn 17," says Romain Grosjean. Yes, we saw that. Disbelieving looks on the Renault pit wall that scream "seriously, that corner??". By the way, there isn't room to put a permanent crane at that point, which basically means that we'll be looking at a safety car - again - should the same thing happen in the race. Cue lots of chin-stroking.

1141: RED FLAG. Renault's Romain Grosjean loses the back end coming out of Turn 17 and catches the right rear on the wall before rolling into the opposite wall. Unbelievably, that is the exact wall that Nelson Piquet Jr smashed into last year. Oh the irony.

Just been watching it, an almost carbon copy! to much round the corner, on the curb and loses back end and ends up other side of the circuit.

[DarnPB]

He probably got told to do that to back up that last years 'accident' was an accident.
