Singapore 2008: Briatore and Symmonds resign

It is pretty easy to give immunity to Piquet because he is as done. So why didn't they give immunity to Flavio and go after Symonds.

Well I agree someone is going to be "Sleeping with the fishes" before this is all done and I really doubt it will be Flavio.

Yes Renault may have done something unforgivable in terms of cheating, but they have now played with the lives of the loyal people working for them by even considering such a callous tactic.

I hope Flav, Pat and Nelson are lying awake at night knowing that the people back in Enstone are also losing sleep worrying whether the plug is going to be pulled on their futures. Cheating is one thing, but informing on fellow cheaters is appalling at the highest level IMO... :)

So better that they keep quiet about it? WTF are you smoking?

Lets get one thing clear, Nelson Piquet has not gone to FIA because he has the best interests of the sport in mind, or his moral conscience has got the better of him. He informed because it a good way of seeking revenge on his former manager and boss. Its a nasty retaliation which he knows is not only going to affect Flav but many others... I say all this without any aggression towards you by the way.. :)

Peoples jobs are nothing compared to cheating. If they were going to be worried about jobs they should have worried before they cheated.

IMO :)

Because countries tend to have their own justice systems and tend to do their own thing?

Unless the Singapore police start's their own investigation in this race fixing story, which they are 100% entitled to do.

I doubt the general staff knew anything of the plot (assuming its real). I understand your POV but IMO the punishment should be handed to those guilty of something - in this case Flab, Pat, PK jnr and any one else who attended the "meeting".
