Addax does not want to lose Grosjean

After a season and a half in Formula 1, Nelson Piquet could be replaced at Renault, while his performances have rarely lived up to Flavio Briatore's expectations. His main feat dates back to July 2008, where he took second place on the Hockenheim circuit. Nelsinho Piquet could be pushed out, unless the clauses of his contract allow him to save his place.

However, Romain Grosjean, Renault reserve driver and member of RDD (Renault Driver Development), appears to be a credible candidate to succeed the Brazilian. A trend that makes the management of the Barwa Addax team shudder, which has the Frenchman racing in GP2. “ We haven't heard anything official but I hope these rumors aren't confirmed “, a member of the team told GP Week. Because, with Romain Grosjean, the team has a possible future GP2 champion, which would be a fantastic success for the Barwa Addax team, which is having its first season with its new owner (Addax, after the takeover in Campos). This weekend, however, Romain Grosjean lost the lead in the GP2 standings, following the German's two victories. Nico Hulkenberg.
