We have to get the real Heikki for the next race - Flavio

By on

Flavio Briatore, the Renault Boss, wasn't pleased with the Grand Prix debut of youngster Heikki Kovalainen. The Finn finished 10th at Melbourne today, but could have done much better if he wouldn't have made all the mistakes he did.

"Heikki's performance? I think everyone could see on TV and I don't need to protect anyone, it was rubbish. What else an I say? If I tell you it was good then I'm a complete idiot," Briatore said to Reuters. "It wasn't very good, when you start like that you don't have any trouble getting better, there's plenty of room for improvement. It wasn't the Heikki we know from testing. I don't know what happened. We know he is good, but this performance was so bad and we have to try to get the real Heikki for the next race."
