In two seasons and 27 Grands Prix at Renault, this is the first time that Nelsinho Piquet has achieved a better result than Fernando Alonso in the qualifying session. “Trapped” by the rain, unable to complete a lap on a dry track in Q2, the double world champion saw his teammate advance alone to Q3, for the first time since March 2008.
