Piquet Jr to look to Indycar for second chance?

It is one of the worst cases of hypocrisy I have ever seen.

Piquet could have/should have ignored orders to crash and drove the wheels off the car to get as good a result as possible. That would have reflected character, a quality he is sadly lacking. Think of Niki Lauda in 1976 in Japan parking the car in torrential rain, against team wishes and losing the WC by one poit. That is character; I cannot imagine Lauda agreeing to deliberately crash, same for all the great F1 champions. Piquet risked the lives of his fellow drivers, marshalls and spectators. A crash is not predictable, just look at recent events with Henry Surtees and F. Massa. Piquet should have no future in motorsport anywhere.

I wonder what some people have against Danica. I think it's because they can't accept that a woman can drive so fast and be better than men? BTW I'd like to see her in Formula 1.

If Piquet Jr joined Indy he would win the title with ease, he is a far superior driver than anyone on the Indy grid.

Unfortunatly, i probably wont be able to prove my words right, as he is more likely to join the new Manor F1 team.

I don't think there's any scenario that would prove your words correct outside of him joining another F1 team.

To say he would be far superior to anyone else on the grid is laughable. That is a statement that is made without any real knowledge or facts...more like a wish or fantasy. I doubt you could find anyone connected to either series that would agree with you.

If your looking for a bite you've got it.

What a ***** comment

IMO Nelson jr. will do in IRL better than in F1 but won't be as good as in GP 2.

Yep, and that (tired) gender card logic explains why so many like Angelle Sampey, Shirley Muldowney and Ashley Force so much. Ashley is looking damn good for an NHRA Top Fuel championship this year. And Shirley and Angelle each have more championships than Danica's won pro races in her entire life. But everybody who dislikes the Overhyped One is a sexist. Yeah... well, based on her comments, I guess that makes Angelle Sampey a self-hating woman. And Angelle doesn't say anything negative about ANYBODY... unless they really have it coming to them.

Danica in F1? Oh, absolutely! I'd like to see Paris Hilton on Broadway too. Who cares if Bruno Senna makes it or not? Danica is the real deal. Heck, she's won an oval race and everything! Any F1 team would be lucky to have her. I bet Ferrari was on the phone with IMG, begging for Danica's services, ten minutes after Massa got hurt. But with the Ferrari down on pace this year, she wisely chose to stick with the IRL. But a future Formula One World Driving Champion, The Danica surely is! :bounce:

Danica to F1? The answer to the question^^^ is YES! ... that makes you crazy. Sorry.

Ok, I just asked. Still don't know why some don't like her so much.. Is just because she's overhyped? It's her success from marketing point of view. Today racing isn't all about racing but also about hot to get to media..

I do not know much about IRL but I found some information about Danica results and it isn't look bad. 9th in 2006, 7th in 2007, 6th in 2008. 1 win and 2 other podium. I don't think she'd good in F1 but some weak team could give her a chance for 1 or 2 races (and get media interest).
