FIA to launch probe on '08 Singapore GP
Posted by mika19b
I applauded Flavio for not saying anything but why get personal at this stage? he's not helping his cause, and after keeping quiet after sacking him, despite Nelson doing the opposite, Flavio should have said much of what's in this article!!

He got himself out of that when a woman came up to him during an interview with the BBC where he was asked if her knew her. He replied "Not yet"

NPJ didn't make a mistake. A mistake is what Hamilton did today at Monza. But deliberately crashing your car, that's not a mistake.
Seriously, assuming this crashgate thing is true, had he refused to go on with the plan and instead exposed the fix to the world, the worst he could have got was to be fired from Renault. But then again 2008 was the rookie season for NPJ so he would still have got some chances to find another team since poor performances on rookie years are not that unusual.
Anyway I don't belive this story. At least I don't believe Alonso knew about it, not because i root for him (which I do), but because I wouldn't either if it was Kimi, Lewis or MSC. It's not like he needed the win to get the attention of the best teams, he's a two-time champion. Everybody knows he's good, I don't know if the best, but pretty good anyway.

While the entire situation seems shady to say the least if this is prooved to be true i will be very suprised. Piquet can say what he wants and claim its true, but with no actual fact i don't see this coming down at the feet of Piquet.
Renault had a strong car by this point in the season, and didnt need to throw away the reputations of key staff and a major car manufacturer just to get a victory.
And even if it is true noone but the 3 key players will know about about it. Why would they tell anyone, especially Alonso who while i am not the biggest fan for him is an honest and well standing race driver.

I thought Alonso was 5th or something, and thats why he had low fuel not 15th.
15th with 14laps of fuel is not normal, but I do not believe Alonso knew. Jnr even said Alonso was not involved.
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

Exactly. Piquet self-destructing spectacularly in public, and Rubens winning race after race!
If Bruno was here he'd be digging himself holes the size of the Grand Canyon.

Well said.
The article above proves not that Alonso knew, but that Piquet Snr is doing his usual trick of spouting crap about people and generally being an obnoxious little @#$%&. He'd call Alonso an axe murderer if he thought he could get away with it.
I've never been much of a fan of Briatore, but I thought what he said about Piquet was spot on in the case of Snr and amusing in the case of Jr. And I hope he says plenty more about both of them, because they deserve to have their reputations smeared for good, and Piquet Snr is the kind of person that allegations stick to, whether they're proven or not.
It's certainly interesting to watch this war of poisonous words play out.
Basically, the sad thing about this case is that nothing good can come out of this at all, unless Piquet - both of them - are ruined.
Fail all round.

Snr seems to have been the one to have said the most. For his sons sake he should STFU.
Flavio didnt kill Jnr's career, but Snr certainly is having a good go at it!!
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

Just remembered, one of the first teams that Piquet Snr drove for in F1 was actually called "BS Fabrications". How appropriate!

LMAO!!!
Unfortunately I haven't been able to track down this article, but earlier, I read an article about an interview with Martin Brundle, where he reckons pretty much what most of us have been saying, no matter what the outcome of this, Piquet junior's F1 career is pretty much done for and no F1 team will really want to hire him now.

I hate flavio before, but now im on his side! Go flavio! go!! kick your former spoiled driver's ass!, and i don't trully believe that alonso was involve in this crash-gate saga!. I mean look how he wins Singapore'08 full of joy, and just like winning a driver's championship!. and if he knew it, im 100% he wouldn't act naturally winning something like somebody else. and not happy and excited as that.
