Who told you? and can anyone say if its any easier to drive then any other car on the grid??? i think the mclaren and redbull would 'easy' to drive too, since they are easy to finish high up the grid in, and the mclaren is easy to overtake in. People who have made this claim of the Renault being easy to drive.. i sense its because it looks balanced on track, i think that is more because Kubica is comfortable with this car and setting it up well, and driving it very well.
Petrov on the other hand, watch him from onboard camera, he seems to have trouble with the car, very twitchy, it doesnt look 'easy' at all.
There are always different ways of reading into things in f1, if you read the Renault as being easy to drive, then to me that suggests Petrov is really struggling, as an easy car whould help him get closer to his teammate. so far he has one good result, which was in changing conditions, and with mistakes along the way, and still a long way behind his teammate (dont forget if there wasnt a safety car, he wouldve been further back).
Now im not seeing he will be bad f1 driver in the future, i am just judging on what we have seen so far. and to me it does not look that good.
So if Petrov is still performing at this level in relation to Kubica at the end of the year, i wonder if he will be praised or not praised? at the moment, most are praising him (mainly feel-good positivity) i would think it would be a dissapointment if the results are like this at the end of the year, but i get a sense that people will say 'oh but its his first year'.
I hope he performs better in the upcoming races, at tracks he knows.
