All the hype and a long in GP2 and still can't get near the title. Have to agree with that. All the hype and a long in GP2 and still can’t get near the title.

This could also have been an extra motivation to change drivers half way through the season even with the testing ban, so at least one of their 2010 drivers had race experience with the team rather than change both drivers at the end of the season. If Alonso is staying at Renault then I think Grosjean will have to get used to been the No.2 driver. Either way his and the teams expectations shouldn’t be too high for this season at least. By the way does anyone know if he did any pre-season testing in the R29 at all?

I don't think deference is in Lewis' vocabulary. Good luck to Grosjean: he's going to need it. Even though I'm sure he's better than Piquet.
