Renault sack both Briatore and Symonds in order to save face, that's the 3rd option.

But what about his father? :vader:

One of the key problems with the whole saga is that if you had a matching contest with Flavio and Nelson Sr. as choices on one side and "lying dirtbag" as one of the descriptions, you would feel obliged to connect that description to both of them. :rolleyes:

I can't help thinking that Max's final act as FIA president will be to drum yet another of his enemies out of the sport.

Well as Max has often said, "After you get a good whipping, there is nothing better than to give a good whipping."

In the stewards' report about that interview, a copy of which has been seen by AUTOSPORT, Symonds confirms that the race-day meeting between himself, Briatore and Piquet did take place.
The stewards reports added: "Mr. Symonds accepted that he had discussed with NPJ (Piquet) the possibility of a deliberate crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, although he said the suggestion was raised by NPJ."

ONLY in F1 does the above admission deserve immunity -- yet another sad day for corporate F1's "ANYTHING for MONEY" policy -- and we of course believe that it is ONLY Renault that SHOULD make such SAD admissions --blame the other guy to make it sound better? better? regardless of who gets blamed for raising such extremely SAD racing attitudes.

Wouldn't be the first time Flav has "lost" a close associate in dubious circumstances ;)

Well, what do you think. Shall we get Max a pair for his Retirement?

The intricacies of the low fuel load, early pit stop and location and timing of crash, would be well beyond the connivance of 2 X Piquets. Apart from anything else, Jr had to be reminded what lap he was on, for God's sake. :rolleyes:
