I continue to feel bad for heidfeld. This was/is probably his last chance at putting himself in the shop window for a race seat and it gets yoinked away by some rich brazillian dude looking to cash in on senna's uncle. Not enough beards in f1.

well there were always rumors that Renault had big budget troubles, this shows how desperate they are i guess. replacing Heidfeld for a shitdriver like Senna

So those are the "legal issues" Bruno was talking about in the press conference today...

Q: (Julien Febreau - L’Equipe) Question for Bruno: could you tell us what the boss of Renault GP told you about the rest of the season, and will you keep the seat until the end of the season?
BS: Well, right now, I’m confirmed for this race and the next race but, for some legal issues still to be resolved, they can’t confirm the rest of the year or not. The intentions are that I do it but it still cannot be confirmed.

Webber and his underhand shittalking about his team(mate)
... meh
Eh, you think he's shittalking? I reckon he's just being his usual blunt self. RBR have missed out on victories in the last three races (I think?)... anyone would be silly to think that RBR will have as easy a run to the end of the year as they did at the start.

I'm sure the team is happy with the results.

eh, his comments have this slight shittalking edge from time to time. stuff that should be kept team internal and doesn't help anyone if said publicly

Agreed, but I couldn't see any malice in the way it read in that article.

You know, you can keep looking for ways to dislike him... but it's ultimately futile. Give in!

Did a few laps of Spa on iRacing last night to get into the mood for this weekend. Saw the gravel trap that is no more and I was sad - dived right into it to make it feel wanted.
 
outstanding!

monkeys here support Heidfeld and want him to win his case against renault??? the guy who holds the record for most races without a win? the guy who has done NOTHING this year.

and by default, dont want some fresh blood in F1??

next you will be wanting a mclaren 1-2 at spa....

He has easily out scored and out driven Petrov so far this year. This Sunday race pace has been better. He always seems to get the blame from Genni when the car fails like last race.
 
:)

im not bigging up Petrov, dont get me wrong.
but no one can claim that Heidfeld did a good or even OK job this year.
F1 really needs to get rid of its baggage, losers like Massa, 'rubens', Heidfeld have to go.

they had their time and now its time for someone else.

we saw Senna in a HRT last year and i dont think that gave anyone a real indication of his talent, lets give him Spa and Monza and see if he deserves loser or hero status.

I agree with you on the Heidfeld issue, but I do want the McLaren 1-2 at Spa. Where does that put me?

Anyway legal action is probably futile. He is himself replacing someone so there should be a clause in his contract for Renault to do whatever. Not like it'll help the team if you stubbornly keep on driving when the team wants someone else. And be real, it's not like Heidfeld is "going to show them" with impressive results..
 
side note.
On bbc they are showing the epic spa start in the rain.
a forgotten hero there was Ricardo Rosset. even though the cars in front are smashed to bits, he still ploughs through lol

Having the name Senna associated with a pay driver leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Even more so watching him stumbling around Spa. :-/
