hmm I'm going to go ahead and not take practice laps into consideration for the weekend.

I bet Renault would kick Senna out the door in a heartbeat if Kubica came back to drive.

It makes a pefect logic to switch now. Senna is young and has a whole country following him... I doubt very much Germany is as keen to see heidfeld drive as brazil is senna. With the german gp over, why not make the switch. Senna gets some seat time to adjust to the car so he can make a good showing at the end of the year in Brazil.

Heidfeld has no real future at renault, senna may, and if not at renault they could possibly sell him to another team.

What really sucks is that this almost certainly means no Kubica this year, which I already kinda knew, but hoped he would return.

Meh, Renault needs someone better.

Yeah, he's 3 points ahead of Petrov or something, but with how much more experience? He's had a disappointing season, IMHO.

[Hick]

Its simple...

Heidfled : $$$
Senna : $$$$$$

Whos got more?

^Looks like Renault is dying for another Kubica already.

Its just a bad decision this late in the game.

some main reasoning
He currently has more points then Petrov making him the prime driver.
He is very close to bumping Nico Rosberg out of 7th place in the standings.
He knows the car better than Senna
He is constantly in the points when his car doesn't explode or get hit.

^This. He is not a winner. He is a consistent driver.

what's to lose with Heidfield being out?

[quickervicar]

Heidfeld out, Senna in...


Is Renault trying to throw what little season they had left away?

Seems so.

I don't understand the logic. There must be something going on other than performance. Or Senna has some big French connection.

Spa-Francorchamps this weekend! I am excited.

Shall I assume that I can watch a live feed from the Red Bull booth at the MotoGP in Indy? :)

I hope he drops dead

if only someone would have forgotten to tighten a wheel nut... if only.

According to David C., he did indeed drop the hammer.
