Petrov loses his temper against Lotus-Renault GP

For the first time this year, Vitaly Petrov lost his temper and lost his temper with his team. The Russian resisted the pressure but has no longer produced good results since the R31 showed a clear decline in the face of the competition. The Lotus driver-Renault GP thus puts itself in danger at a time when Éric Boullier is in full doubt about his list of starters for the 2012 season. Bruno Senna's team is now limited in its communication with the media by his team.

“I can no longer keep silent, the team management has criticized the drivers this season while I have never said anything bad about the team”, commented Vitaly Petrov on the Russia 2 TV channel. “We were doing well at the start but it got worse. We didn't have anything new for about ten races. I never criticized the team, which nevertheless missed numerous opportunities. How many points were lost with poor strategies and missed pit stops? I have a contract but we can't be sure of anything. Even Kimi Räikkönen was let go in exchange for money. It’s hard to fight if they want you to leave. »
