    World champion Nelson Piquet is no idiot. He knows full well that his little boy will never do what Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve did.

    There will not be a Piquet f1 team anyway - Ross Brawn just makes it LOOK easy - like when Nelson used to lap the circuit in the Brabham. It is not.

    Absolutely....if Nelsinho were to drive for the team and then didn't perform, he'd be shown the door - of that I have no doubt!

    I think Jr. will do OK if he gets cuddled enough. He did great before he came into F1 and he had his good moments in F1 too, he's certainly good enough to deserve another chance.

    The prospect of getting fired by your dad? Wow, that would really suck.

    He is also a bit like Briatore I hear, not a very nice person. He certainly made quite rude comments about Nigel Mansell's wife when they were team mates back in the 80's, so maybe he could actually be a good team owner/manager, like Flavio.
