Piquet enters frame for Spyker seat E-mail
Multiple drivers could fill axed Spyker racer Christijan Albers' seat for the remaining seven races in 2007.
That is the latest admission of the Dutch team's boss Colin Kolles, as speculation at the Nurburgring suggests for the first time that Renault test driver Nelson Piquet Jr - managed by Flavio Briatore - could have now entered the frame.

The son of triple world champion Nelson Piquet is competing principally with Christian Klien and Narain Karthikeyan for the drive, with Kolles telling the news agency Sport-Informations-Dienst (sid) that Spyker will select drivers who can contribute financially to the team.

"A formula one team does not live on air," he said.

Kolles said teammates for Spyker regular Adrian Sutil could even be assigned on a race-by-race basis.

"However continuity would of course be better," he acknowledged.

Underfinanced current substitute driver, the debutant Markus Winkelhock, ended Friday of the European grand prix slowest of all and - in the afternoon practice session - beached in the gravel.
