Piquet no longer believes in a turnaround

Eleven points in eight races, a very disappointing result for Renault. The French team had nevertheless armed itself with ambitions during the off-season. After a lackluster start to 2008, the rest of the season proved much more prolific. Fernando Alonso had thus been able to finish, during the last eight races, seven times in the first four, winning twice.

Could an identical scenario reveal itself this season? Nelsinho Piquet doesn't believe it. “ Last year, we progressed better, unless it was all the others who progressed faster “, blurted the Brazilian to Autosport. Fernando Alonso's teammate even believes that the 2008 car was undoubtedly better. And if Renault can still progress this year, Piquet thinks that the quality of the field will not help the French team. “ Development never stops. The goal is to make our car progress faster than the others. This is not meant to make the second part of the year easier for us. »
