If it seems like only yesterday that Giancarlo Fisichella was being reported as favourite for the vacant Sauber drive, that’s because it really, genuinely was. Sometimes these things make too much sense. Fisi spent much of 2009 showing well for Force India, before forging late-season links with Ferrari that saw him given a testing and development [...] That punishment, for those who haven’t seen it, is a permanent disqualification from the Formula One world championship, suspended until the end of the 2011 season.

It would appear that while not quite having his old man’s talent, Nelsinho Piquet has inherited his father’s unfortunate refusal to accept that sometimes, it really is time to shut up. Friend of petrolheadblog.com Nelson Piquet Jr has been shown the door by Renault, and it’s fair to say that he isn’t overjoyed about it. Let’s get the mitigating circumstances out of the way first.
