Pressure's mounting on Nelsinho: F1 : Piquet must up his game - Renault chief - Piquet - F1-Live.com

He needs to settle down and put in a consistent performance he was all over the place in turkey. I think he's trying to hard.

It is still softer then what Kova received. And Kova had a more difficult car to drive.

But Hamlton and Rosberg were fast and furious straight out of the box.

He made one solid pass.It was definitely a positive sign but he seems to be making silly little(rookie) mistakes. I think Fisi should call him and offer him support

Surely his more experienced team mate will be giving him all the help and encouragement he needs.

Cut it out guys

Can't help thinking that William's are falling of the pace after an impresive start. Hope their concentrating on next years car.

I think the first race was a bit a fluke TBH, though I agree that they are now slower than Red Bull, Renault (well, 1 Renault car ) and probably even with Toyota.

Seems unlikely, but then so did Max and prostitutes.

F1 News > Lancia to buy into Scuderia Toro Rosso?

They shoud buy Super Aguri probably get it for about ten quid

I doubt Lancia will buy an F1 team. Overlap with Ferrari is not allowed in Fiat's stable.
