There are some people who say that Heikken Kovalainen (26!!) was fired from Renault by Fernando Alonso (26). They say that Fernando doesn't want another Lewis Hamilton (22) by his side. I don't think so.
First of all, I think that Flavio Briatore decided to promote rookie Nelsinho Piquet (22) to take Fisichella's drive some time ago, even before the McLaren-Alonso's (Ron Dennis-Alonso's?) affair . Fisico is thirty-four years old, and Briatore already said in Sept. 2006 that he prefers new blood.
"With Fernando leaving we looked away and felt we needed new blood (meaning Heikki Kovalainen) to beat what exists in Formula One"Second of all, if you have the chance of hiring the best driver/racer (Fernando) now, go for it. Of course, someone (Heikki?) should be fired.
Third, is not Nelsinho Piquet more like to Lewis Hamilton than Heikki Kovalainen? Nelsinho is a 22 years-old rookie who comes from GP2. Heikki is a 26 years-old sophomore.
Finally, why fire Heikki? Why promote Nelsinho? Maybe, the salary. Maybe, the age. Maybe, the agreements between Briatore and Nelson Piquet (father).
Anyway, Heikki or Nelsinho is the same for Flavio, because he will never do what Ron Dennis did. He will never loose a championship because a rookie (or sophomore) thinks that he is equal to a double F1 world champion.
PS: Why Ron Dennis hired FA? I though to win the championship after 8 years. Well done Ron.

Ramando....
I do not like F1 very much, but i know there are a lot of interests (economic motivations) in all the actions the teams take.
I think provably Briatore needs money to pay Alonso, and he needs to reduce the salary of the other member of his team!
Nevertheless, I invite you to follow MotoGP... it is very much exciting than F1.
