Renault Team Principal Eric Boullier has expressed his praise for 2010 newcomer Vitaly Petrov and, furthermore, has said that the Enstone squad will be discussing next year with the Russian before the current season meets its end.
Last week Boullier explained in the team’s post-British Grand Prix podcast that Petrov’s ‘future is in his own hands’ although the Frenchman appeared generally positive when asked about the Vyborg man at Sunday’s Bavaria City Racing event, in which Petrov and World Champion Jenson Button took to the streets of Moscow.
“We are very, very pleased with what Vitaly has done so far and he has clearly done very well in Formula 1,” Boullier told Russian television broadcaster RT.
“The learning curve is still very steep but that is normal for a rookie. With every new driver in Formula 1, you need time to understand and to get the best from your car - it’s very tough.
“He needs to develop like a normal driver; he’s done very well so far, so we’re just waiting to see how he develops and before the end of the season I’m sure we’ll discuss for next year.”
