Under the mercurial guidance of Flavio Briotore The Renault team were never far from a story Questionable tactics and manufactured spins All to make sure that a team mate wins A clever idea but not the right way to Glory. With the maverick gone we expected quieter days And for a while you sank into a hushed malaise However your lack of controversy and brief dip in form Turned out to be the calm before a magnificent storm It didnt take long till you returned to more familiar ways. The year began with a bang as you staked a controversial claim To a rich sporting heritage as you fought over a name Your bitter dispute with the fledgling Team Lotus Reminded us of all the headlines you had previously brought us In 2011 we could expect more of the same. Before the first race had started you were left with a hole As you lost the services of the likeable but unlucky Pole The gap had to be filled as the season doesnt end Just because we are missing an absent friend You would have to dig deep and show the world you got soul. Even your most ardent fan would have thought it absurd For the season to begin with Vitaly in third Missing your leader Petrov stepped up to the plate And showed that he might just have what it takes to be great Once again Renault were making that briefly quiet voice heard. To back up his success Vitaly tried to get a push on But he ended up airbourne and became the 'rudderless Russian' Not to worry this time it would be Nick Heidfeld's race As he secured another unexpected podium place While Petrov sat in the motorhome on a very soft cushion! So far your season has gone better than anyone had reckoned But no time to slow - already China has beckoned Could you really shock us when we see the chequered flag drop And a Renault driver has finished on top? Maybe not. But who knows? You might finish second! Written for my blog: http://itsnotlifeordeath.blogspot.com/ Just a bit of fun so don't be too harsh!
Nice. I feel horribly disrespectful to Vitaly and Nick when I say this, but I'm gutted Kubica hasn't had a go in that car. Two podiums already for the team. I don't think Kubica could've bettered either result but I think if he'd been driving he would've matched it. Two thirds would have been worth second in the championship at this stage.
Tbh I think Kubica may have had 2nd in Malaysia. And in Aus (if he was lucky) Petrov was only 8s down on Ham and in Malaysia something happened to Heidfeld in pits, came in infront of Ham, came out behind Button (team hates him, his pit stops are slow, they gave him traffic , 606 WUMMING style)
