Mosley wants Briatore. He wants him like Aldo Raine wants Hitler.
Formula 1 - 2009 Season
- Thread starter Dave Baumann
- Start date
28 cars would be pretty hectic, but I think the FIA is concerned that some teams may not make it, at least to the first race.
Anyway, James Allen have asked talked to a lawyer and a policeman about the immunity for both Piquet and Symonds

This is interesting

seems like there was some fallout from the road car being done. At this rate McLaren will just be a customer engine recipient in a few years.
On a related topic, I wonder when the other teams will be saying the Mercedes HPE engine has been tweaked a bit too much and is now too powerful?

Briatore and Symonds have now been chucked out of Renault over the race fixing allegations...
They have indeed
Well I guess the Piquet's were telling the truth then (although I can well imagine there was a bit of blackmail going on before this was made public).
I bet they wanted to get rid of Piquet before they did and couldn't because they knew what he would likely say. Very silly situation to put yourself into just to get one car to win one race.
Wonder what the penalty for Renault will be now?
Shows that Flav is the big liar and not Piquet after all.

Briatore leaving is not really a big loss, but Symonds leaving is. I am very disappointed in him and I am angry he felt he had to do it. The team is now throwing itself at the mercy of FIA as it has done before and if my hunch is true that Briatore was the target and Symonds is the collateral, they will not ban the team, but instead fine it or do something else.
This sucks, I thought better of you, Pat.

Do you not think it was incredibly stupid for Nelson Piquet Jr to crash his car on purpose? To put your own life at risk in such a manner boggles the mind. What lengths some people go to....... amazing.
In a fair world there will be criminal proceedings from this and I would be inclined to lock NP Jr up too.

Putting your life at risk is kinda overdoing it I think. With all the safety in F1 these days the chances of getting killed or even badly injured are very small. When you can stage your own crash its even smaller. Insane as it might sound there was very little risk for the driver with what renault did. Its not like they asked him to run straight into a concrete wall at 340kpmh, just touching the wall al 50kmph would have done the job just fine. Obviously piquet thought that now he finally had the chance to do something good for the team he might have overdone it a bit but hey 
Yeah, it was stupid as hell and dangerous as hell.

Seems like Alonso is gifted in creating an atmosphere of honesty and harmony in the teams he drives for.
Indeed. Alonso owns Renault as we all know.
