Keke Rosberg, F1’s world champion of 1982 and now a commentator, has expressed disappointment with Renault rookie Nelson Piquet’s formula one season.
“Something is wrong there,” Finn Rosberg, whose German born son Nico was the GP2 champion in 2005, is quoted as saying by Express.
“Piquet seems to be achieving nothing at all,” the 59-year-old told the German newspaper.
“A guy who was pretty strong in GP2 must be doing more. I don’t understand it,” Keke Rosberg said.
However, he dismissed wild conspiracy theories that Renault chiefs ordered 23-year-old Piquet to crash in Singapore last weekend.
The Brazilian’s ideally-timed crash brought out a safety car, allowing teammate Fernando Alonso to climb to the top of the podium.
