Looks to me that he just got a backbone, but I wonder when will Flav and Symonds get one.

well this is actually a tough deal. If Renault are guilty then I hope they are tossed out for good. However with that being said so far all I have gotten is that a inferior driver gassed the car coming out of a corner.

The possible problem is that money and power think they are immune and can buy their way to any result. On the other hand you have a rich whiny prix that has the money to defend anything as well. This thing stinks whichever direction you turn

You might be right about Piquet but I just don't really see what he's got to gain out of this all tbh. Sure if he could have got money for keeping it quiet but it's gone waaaaaaay past that and he aint gonna make any money out of this. Now of course that's not proof that it went down as he says it did but still.....

Good. Now that we documented your hate for the Piquets and their money, what about your love for Alonso and Sweaty Flab?! :p :

How does it make anything 'clear'? We haven't had the evidence presented yet. There is always a multitude of reasons as to why legal actions can be a long time in coming, just as there are for such actions not being brought at all, or being dropped, or whatever.

Nothing either way. If his allegations are found to be true, no team will ever employ him, because he was a crap driver AND will be viewed with great suspicion. If they aren't, that all still applies, plus he'll be shown to be a liar — not a word to be thrown around lightly.

If it's a crime, it's still a crime a decade or more later.

The only thing that is absolutely sure already is that Piquet jr will never drive in F1 again. Regardsless of what is the truth in all this mess.

Unless senior buys him a team, of course.

Or would you hire him, guys?
