Piquet Jr. afraid to lose seat to Grosjean
Nelson Piquet Jr., who will drive his first home Grand Prix, admitted that he is worried to lose his Renault seat as the team is under pressure to sign a French driver in 2009. After a difficult season for Piquet, the media already speculated about two possible replacers for the Brazilian: Lucas di Grassi and Romain Grosjean.
Nelson Piquet Jr. said to news agency 'Reuters': "I think Renault are in need. It's been a few years since they had a French driver."
