Piquet safe?

Q: After 6 races Renault can't be satisfied with Jr. and meanwhile have hired Robert Doornbos for "demo duties" - I say put him in the car immediately and let Jr. drive the demos ....

A: I'm surprised just how poor Piquet is performing, given his record in FRenault, British F3 and GP2. With Flav as your boss you are always at risk of losing your seat whether you're good or bad, so he really needs a decent GP soon. Give the guy a break. People put to much pressure on him. Give him 1 year to learn and be hard on him next year. Monaco was not his mistake but that of his team. Only a nutcase puts dry weather tyres on a rookie who is having a hard time in F1. Several other more experienced drivers like Webber and Alonso made mistakes too on those tyres but were lucky they didn't hit any wall.
