Will Piquet be present in Hungary?

Rumors are rife in the paddock of the Formula 1. After the probable departure of Sébastien Bourdais de Toro Rosso replaced by the young Jaime Alguersuari, it is the turn of Nelson Piquet to see his future darken a little more each day. In question are the statements of his boss, the director of Renault F1 team, Flavio Briatore, and the movements around to designate his successor.

Asked about the future of his driver, the Italian had a fairly evasive response. “ I do not know “, he declared on Autosport before adding, not without humor: “ Maybe I'll be in the car myself! ". Statements which corroborate the assertions of the Brazilian media which announce Piquet's departure. However, he expects to return to the suburbs of Budapest to compete in the 10th round of the season.

On his Twitter, Piquet assures that he will be present at the Hungaroring. “ The team promised me that me and Fernando [Alonso]dWe would use the same car for the next race. » Will he be present in Hungary or not? Difficult to answer this question with certainty even if the name of his probable successor, Romain Grosjean, also comes back insistently when a potential successor is mentioned?
