Robert Kubica's manager says the Polish driver is "officially on the market" following BMW's decision to withdraw from Formula One.

Poor Piquet JR.... Living in the shadow of his dad. Those were some pretty big shoes to fill. Ahhh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Finally... I'll bet you Grosean will go quicker, even with limited time in the car. Nelson sucked... plain and simple.

Yeah, but he also got a ride by and large because of his name. Hard to feel too sorry for him.

Exactly. I'd love the opportunity to be an F1 driver; even if only for 1 race!

Grosean is a great driver... in gp2. But i foresee him making the same mistakes as NP. He has the same momentary lapses in judgment that got NP in trouble last year.

I hope he can get over that, because his overtaking skills are amazing.

SAO PAULO -- Nelson Piquet Jr. says he has been fired from Renault and blamed team principal Flavio Briatore for his failure to achieve significant results in Formula 1.

Piquet says he's disappointed with Renault's decision, but at the same time was relieved to put an end to "the worst period of my career."

Piquet said in a statement Monday that the "black period" of his career began when he signed a management contract with Briatore, who "threatened" him instead of supporting him. He called Briatore his "executioner."

The Brazilian driver's best finish in 28 races was second at the German Grand Prix in 2008.

He said he is already considering his options to remain in F1 with another team.

Sure, blame it on Briatore. Sure it has nothing to do with your inability to come anywhere close to your teammate's pace.
