An extraordinary day. That’s what Nelson Piquet Junior must be thinking. This Monday, December 10, will undoubtedly remain etched in his memory. Renault has just confirmed him as a race driver for the 2008 season.
A consecration for the Brazilian driver who patiently awaited his moment of glory while serving as a test driver for the French team.
He will certainly be in the race in 2008, but it will be alongside Fernando Alonso. Undoubtedly an asset in the pursuit of victories.
« Above all, I want to thank Flavio and Renault for trusting me for 2008 », commented Nelsinho.
« It’s a fantastic opportunity for me to start in Formula 1 with one of the leading teams on the grid, alongside one of the best drivers. This seat is something I’ve worked tirelessly for, and I am proud that my work as the third driver has convinced and allowed me to secure this position. »
« I can’t wait to work with Fernando and learn from him. As a rookie, there’s no better way to start, it’s a privilege to have a double world champion as a reference! » He said.
