I remember people singing his praises earlier this year about hoe great his attitude was. Then again being a DTM Champion and F1 point scorer already at 22 is bound to come with a bit of an ego.
Jolyon has improved, for one he crashes less and has actually been close to his teammate a couple times lately, but it's still virtually unanimous that Magnussen is rated more highly, and it's been obvious that he's not their first or second choice for that extra seat.
I think Renault are waiting out an extra year to see if Sainz or Ocon will be available, after all, they may not actually be seriously competitive until 2018(it would explain why Magnussen was only offered one year). Until then, why not take the huge payout that Palmer comes with?
