The Ferrari issue is not much of a stretch. Massa was leading...and had he only pulled a point out of that race... It's not like he lost the championship by 10 points and had to win the Sing race from mid-pack. Having said that, maybe Hamilton's strategy in Brazil would have been different knowing he needed more... There's a lot of "if's" but it really is not much of a stretch to say the drivers title could have been different if not for this situation.
I think the "journalist" of the daily British rag is smoking his socks.

If I remember correctly this same type of rumor came up during 2007 and nothing came of it then, so I believe that nothing will come of it here.
Extradition may not come into the ambit of Race Fixing, but conspiring to crash a racing car at speed where other drivers, race marshals and spectators could be injured, might be something that does.
My gut feeling is that when Renault had sufficient evidence against Sleazy Flav and Pat Symonds, the two were convinced that the best way forward was for them to depart Renault. The alternative would most likely have the two arrested on arrival in Singapore next week, with the race cars impounded.
With the leaking of evidence and interviews carried out so far, these two turning up at the WMSC hearing next Monday would reveal more than sufficient evidence for the Singapore police to take action.
But extradition is something else, as agreements between agreeing nations only cover certain crimes, and in fact, may not cover crimes where the punishments are in disagreement with EU countries'. For instance, it may cover fraud, but not murder.
Was there a race fixing car crash in 2007?Quote:

He does have a way out: get in his boat and motor around the Mediterranean, stopping only at ports where there are no extradition treaties, like Morocco, Tunisia, Bosnia, etc. A person of his resources could evade extradition like forever. Look at Christopher Skase - they couldn't even extradite the guy from Spain back to Australia.Quote:
