According to Germany’s ‘Auto Motor und Sport’ magazine, Renault’s Vitaly Petrov has been told to lose weight. Although Petrov is about the same height as team mate Robert Kubica, he is about 10 kilos heavier, which costs him about three… tenths of a second per lap. Renault were not too fussed about this until they received a copy of a video (see below) of a typical Petrov family meal and decided that action had to be taken before an expensive reshape of the R30 would be called for. A team insider said that Vitaly had been told to go to the gym and train until he ‘hit the wall’.
Good sentiment but maybe an unfortunate choice of words for a Renault driver?
