Jerez test combined times:
3rd HEIDFELD Renault 1m20.361s
11th SENNA Renault 1m21.400s
Well you may be right brembo man, maybe Heidfeld is genuinely slower than Senna (even though I believe the whole point of them both testing together was to see which one was more impressive) and maybe he doesn't deserve to drive that Reno purely because Senna was a "last minute purchase" reserve driver whereas Heidfeld was a "last minute purchase" replacement driver.
Why can you not grasp the point that's been made? Renault want their lead driver to have a chance of winning the WDC! They are not there as a "young driver academy LIVE" outfit

. IMO (regardless of his abilities and potential) Senna is most probably only there because of his name and its association to that company who still likes to think of themselves as Lotus. Petrov sure isn't there for his driving skills alone is he?
