Boullier tries to find a reason to replace Nick
Nick Heidfeld didn't deliver speed or leadership, says Renault team principal - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com
To be fair I understand his viewpoint, but to say he was always asked by the media 'why is Vitaly quicker than Nick?' is just odd, bearing in mind Nick finished ahead of Vitaly 6 times, while Vitaly finished ahead 3 times if you don't include the races where a driver retires due to mechanical reasons. This whole situation is just a mess, and if I was Heidfeld I wouldn't want to drive for Renault again, so seeing him wearing Renault stuff and promoting the team/staying in the garage shows what a gentleman he is...taking the moral highground (which isn't too hard against Boullier)

His leadership didn’t work in the team and when you are sometimes slower than Vitaly, in fact most of the time slower than Vitaly, it is difficult for him to push the team and to settle himself as the team leader.”
In Comparison, Kubica was .7 faster than Vitaly.
I think Boullier's move was necessary, yet putting Senna instead of Heidfeld for performance reason's doesn't exactly match up.Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent

i can not see how Heidfeld can take the court action unless the contract he signed was to be number one driver untill Kubica returned

The team should be glad with the two lucky podium finishes in the start off the season and the fifth place off Petrov in Canada. The car should no be in the top 6 at all based on it's performance. It's performance got worse during the season and there was no update at all.
Boullier is happy with the development skills of Heifeld he said, Heidfeld also helped with the current updates. And once the updates are ready they kick out Heidfeld.
Petrov is not a great driver and never will be, people that think he has inproved his skills. They are wright, he has learned how te stay on the track for crying out loud. In the races his pace is totally off and he hast lost more positions then that he gained.
I wish them good luck with Senna and Petrov, the wish to beat Mercedes in the championship is a litllebit to optimistic.

Bitter pill for Heidfeld, the team throws him out at the race where they bring serious updates for the first time since the start of the season.
I can see some lunatics claiming it is all due to Bruno Lali (Senna) being sucha great driver.Michael Schumacher The Best Ever F1 Driver
