Quote from: Khare on 12 February 2011, 21:46Quote from: Phil1980 on 12 February 2011, 21:37He is a better choice than Senna IMO. How do you know? From 170 odd GP starts Heidfield has, he's never won a race, and he's been in competitive cars over the years.Senna had to drive a clown car last year, so we've not seen his full potential in an F1 car. What F1 needs is the oldies to retire (it hurts to say it) but Trulli, Barrichello, Schumacher and Webber should retire.We need more young daring drivers like Hamilton, Kobayashi and Alguersuari that take risks and push the car to the limits.I don't know, hence the IMO. You obviously know everything there is to know about F1, or at least you like to think you do.

You obviously know everything there is to know about F1, or at least you like to think you do.I've been following F1 since I remember. I used to tape every race on video, then watch it 3 or 4 times during the 2 week break.I like to think I do know my way around F1 And even though Senna did get beaten by his team mates, I know that in a decent car he can perform well.
Just got off the phone with Gerard Lopez and he said that Senna will test for Renault tomorrow, see how it goes then

It's going to be a difficult choice for the Renault boss, for sure (why do f1 drivers add for sure to the end of sentences?)

When Lopez took over at RF1 he stated they were there to race, not to make money but then immediately hired Petrov as Number 2 Driver 'cos of the millions of euros in sponsorship money he brought....
