Exactly right. Such is the way of these things today — those in positions of authority, no matter whether in politics, sport or whatever, are advised not to give anything much away in an effort to manage the media's response to a crisis, yet this is usually deeply counter-productive.Quote:

From your perspective it is damned if they do damned if they don't. If they did not take legal action and simply left their statements to the weight of the FIA proceedings, you would be on here arguing that it was a sign of guilt that they didn't take actual legal action.
From your perspective if they defend themselves they are guilty, of they stay quiet they are guilty.
"I will not be bullied again into making a decision I regret" Piquet is a idiot, I hope he wil grow(up) a backbone. The magnitude of his/Renault action is mindboggling, his defence is just pathetic. I'm young, stupid, not a stable character, afraid of the dark, unsure of the future, undecided about my place in society but the teenage mutant ninja turtles rocks.
Turn it on its head.
If PKJnr was asked to crash, why wait till now to say anything.
So, you see, to say why did Flav and Pat wait till now?
Could it be this is all concocted by the PK's?

NPKSnr has form......
Oh dear, oh dear oh dear, oh dear oh dear oh deary dear!
I have a nasty feeling about this. I fail to see what Piquet has to gain from this..... Would be nice to see Flav banned from F1 though :)
In the latest article it was quite revealing that Piquet's comments were about the meeting and the accident, while Flavio's defense is to attack both Piquets.
Sure it is, but the timing is suspicious if they claim that tey were blackmailed 2 months ago already.Quote:

Maybe they were afraid that some wrong doings will be unearthed and kept hoping that Piquet will not spill the beans?! Looks like that to me.
Good one coming from sweaty Flav. So he's been doing business with the Piquet's although he knew that they are such bad people who will hunt him down? How fitting.Quote:
