Although you may be right, it could be that Piquet is just lacking in pace.

Going slightly off topic- what makes one driver quicker than another driver? Is it that Alonso is better at ragging the car round the circuit at stupid pace without making errors? Or is he more sensitive to the little things?
I just wonder if you told Piquet that he had to go as fast as Alonso with all the telemetry (ie same braking points, same entry/exit speeds on corners, same gearshifts, lines and apex clips) where would the difference between the two drivers arise? Would Piquet crash first? Or is he just slow because nobody has shown him all Alonso's stuff....?
Just a question to you respectfully, have you ever raced?

Nope, but thats kind of why I'm struggling to understand why one driver can be consistently quicker than another. Can anybody shed any light on where the difference arises?
