Unless I'm missing something, I have to say I'm wondering what Palmer is bringing to F1.
Anyone else wondering if he will be in the Renault for much longer?
Yep, had those thoughts on Sunday while watching the race. I suppose they'll give him a few more races and see how he goes before making any decision. Anyone else wondering if he will be in the Renault for much longer?
Doesn't bring some money with him to the team?

Its not going well for him this year is it... How much do Renault need what Jonathan Palmer is bringing in to the team (not including Jolyon), how good is Sirotkin the reserve driver as a replacement until the end of the year when Alonso is apparently coming?
I am told Palmer doesn't bring money this year. How true that is I don't know...Either way, he needn't bother...
He's not bringing money? Good God that's worse than I thought!
I could put up with him being terrible if he was in the least a bit likeable and I could put up with his arsey behaviour if he was genuinely good, but he seems to be the perfect storm of complete prick, slow and terribly bad at driving.
He's that bad I'm convinced I'm missing something completely as an armchair enthusiast, that those in the know must see something in him that we don't.
And I now call him Jocelyn.

I'd imagine Palmer was given the seat again this year so Renault could gauge their progress with the new car more accurately. Two new drivers wouldn't have given as clear a picture. I agreed he is unlikely to still be there next year unless he can up his game considerably.
And change his attitude towards the team Allyc85 said:
Joly-off made me chuckle!
He was a great racer in Gp2, but is out of his depth in F1. Fully expect him to end up with the other rejects in WEC or Formula E.

He took a long timeto get up to speed in GP2 to be fair; maybe if they give him another 3 or 4 years................
