Eric Boullier: We are disappointed with Heidfeld and now rely more on Petrov

Head of Lotus Renault Eric Boullier has declared that the team is disappointed with the performances of Nick Heidfeld who in his opinion had failed to become the team’s leader.

«Of course, we are disappointed. Nick is not a leader as we had hoped. He does not organize the team around himself, and now we rely more on Vitaly for performance, with Nick more suitable for the development of the car», Boullier said as quoted by French Eurosport.

It’s worth noting that Boullier’s statements together with the announced participation of the team’s test pilot Bruno Senna in Friday’s practice at the Hungarian GP have aroused speculations that the German might soon lose his place at Lotus Renault.
