Briatore expects Piquet `recovery` in Bahrain

Flavio Briatore said in Bahrain that he expects Nelson Piquet to begin shining for Renault at this Grand Prix event.

Following a dire debut for Piquet in Australia, and a better showing in Malaysia, the team boss said Sakhir should be the place where the 22-year-old rookie is able to demonstrate his true talents.

“For a young driver, your debut is very complicated when you have a companion like Fernando,” Briatore told Spanish reporters.

“This is the first circuit that Piquet knows from GP2, so I hope he can start to recover here.

“I am already very happy with the work that he is doing with the team,” the Italian said.
