(GMM) Nelson Piquet's famous father believes the Renault driver performed strongly at the recent Spanish grand prix.
Brazilian Piquet, 23, finished seven places behind Fernando Alonso in Barcelona, but he pointed out after the race that unlike his teammate he is not yet driving the "fully updated car".
Piquet was closer to the pace in practice and qualifying. "For the first time Nelsinho was better than Alonso," triple world champion Piquet Snr, who has attended every race so far in 2009, told Germany's Auto Motor und Sport.
"He was missing a tenth to Fernando, but he (Piquet) was also missing the modified double diffuser, which only Alonso had. That was worth two tenths," claimed 56-year-old Piquet Snr.
Poor Nelson Piquet Jr.
Not only is his dad now doing the adult equivalent of spitting on a napkin and wiping his son's face in public, but the interweb's famous facebook is now ganging up on him in a rather amusing way.
The clock really is ticking and how long is it before young Grosjean is being an ideal team mate to Fernando Alonso i.e. not being remotely competitive at all.
