This is getting ever more serious, Renault is grilling Flavio, alive! :eek:
that statement from NpJr is what I expected
1. no real evidence other than his word
2. and admission that he was not guranteed anything ni return for crashing the car and he did so thinking it would help his case with the team (obviously this backfired)
3. nothing apart fro his tleemetry to back up his claim
4. the 360 days it took him to come forward...incidentaly after his team's dismissal.
the way I look at it, he caused the accident all by himself and after sitting down with his father and confidant and seeing how it it inadvertently aided Alonso, he decided to leverage that to his advantage and probably sorta held the team hostage with that bit of evidence as some sort of a guarantee to continue racing with the team. the only real surprise was that he continued to race for them in 2009 when everyone was sure he would not be retained.
This leads me to believe that he held that incident over them and tried to use it to continue racing with the team. it would also explain the team's complete disdain for him and Flavio's apparent disinterest in him completely. completely fed up with the antics, and poor driving they finally fired him in Hungary and are probably well prepared to defend this stupid accusation.
The real loser here is Piquet in my book. Followed by the MM lead FIa who is trying to get one more scalp on his way out as petty revenge.
Renault have to chose between throwing Flavio and Symonds out or taking legal action against Piquet.
However they will have to weight their options very well because they can not throw Flav out nor take Piquet to court without knowing what exactly are the proof that the FIA has managed to amass against them.
If they throw Flav to the dogs than they actually accept that he and implicitly the team cheated.
If they take Piquet to the court and it turns out that indeed Flav and Symonds concocted the plan than they will not only lose face in F1 but also in a court of law.
Tough decision to make Mr. Ghosn.
Not really, telemtry and radio recordings support his version of the story.Quote:

I'm sure I can be forgiven the ill worded title I gave Mr Briatore, the sentement is still the same.Quote:

Even by NPJr own words he says the matter was not discussed again and only got a thank you from Flav after the race (which to me sounded like a cynical thanks rather than a sincere appreciation)
So where are these pitwall & radio communications that you mention and what exactly does the telemetry show.
may I remind you that telemetry would indicate kubica accelerating to the wall in canada, Alonso accelerating in Japan 2007, that kimi would have had unusual telemetry in a couple of his crashes (including monaco where it could be interpreted as deliberate if you took NPJr word for telemetry readings) or massa in silverstote last year, based on telemetry would have looked deliberate 3-4 times. spinning on a spot where others didn't in a slow funny fashion. So let'snot get excited about telemetry here because, it can be twisted to look anyway you want it too.
