Team Brazil

Piquet was awesome at Brands, and average at just about everywhere else. I see it as he doesn't have the 'gonads' to pass someone. I think he's too scared to try, afraid of mucking up the car.

Trobule is I see Fittipaldi as very similar!

can't begin to describe how wrong that is! having watched him in formula 3 for 2 years, he's got plenty of very good racing experience.

anyone know if piquet senior has sold his share in the franchise too?

Piquet apparently lost 'it' during his GP2 season. F1 teams that had him test 'for free' are now asking money or contracts that he, his dad + management team don't want to sign.

How hard can one fall...

I agree that Piquet Jr. should quit from A1 GP to save his image. But I can't see him as a scared driver at all. The boy can be "not as good" as some people think, but he is far ahead from an average driver.

C. Fittipadi in the team will attract more crowds in America, anyway. I think it worths the switch.

Team Brazil has given a perfectly rational explanation for the change - here - so I really don't see why there should be such hysteria. Piquet probably needs a break before the start of GP2 testing and racing, but he certainly hasn't lost it.

For some reason Piquet Senior was quoted as slagging off GP Masters on Autosport and also bragging about how he reckons his business will make him more money than Schumacher ... there may be animosity between him and Emerson?!

Like father like son,Piquet Senior hates street racing,he hates Monaco grand prix and it seems that is son don't like either this type of circuits
