2 articles now saying that Petrov could lose his seat at Renault.

Quite possibly the worst bit of translation ever seen!

Goes to show why drivers should drive and other raise the dough!

Strange, the other day there was an interview saying that he was bringing no sponsorship to the team. Will try and find it in a bit.

But he isn't, is he? Nobody is sponsoring him to drive; instead, his father is - it seems - paying a fee for him to race, which isn't at all the same thing

Renault's third driver is a Dutch national of Chinese extraction, who holds a Chinese driving licence.

Surely they just need to get him in for another seat fitting. Or use more fixings.
