Singapore 2008: Briatore and Symmonds resign

Renault Megane S2000 for the WRC soon?

The real question is who will replace Briatore and Symonds?

Will Renault be in any capacity to continue next year?

So have they been pushed out so that Renault avoids any more negative publicity? Did one or both of them initiate the "race fix" idea? What of Piquet - does this do anything to help him? What happens to Briatore's legal action?

I care little for Briatore, but Pat Symonds? He's been around since the Toleman days and it's difficult to imagine him involved, but clearly he was involved in some way :dozey:

Holy ****!! Didn't see that one coming, fair play to the team for standing up and actually making a bold choice.

Renault "accept Guilt", Flav and Pat Symonds leave - expect Pat to fully implicate Flav at the WMSC hearing, Flav to take the liketime ban and Symonds to escape the ban due to immunity and crop up at hmm, lets say New Lotus with Mike Gascoyne?

as for Piquet, he is massivley tarnished, but (and its a big Butt) with the potential for 28 cars on the grid, a fat sponsors cheque and some F1 experience, Picquet may not be so out of it, could see him picking up a drive for a while with one of the new teams, purely as there are not many other options of drivers who have raced for winning teams available - if nothing else he'll be a barometer for new drivers in the team

I hate to be cynical but Renault have let them go in the hope that they'll get a much lighter punishment, a la 'lie-gate'.

agree with BeansX3 for this one,

def a damage control procedure by Renault

but....it's brilliant to see the back of Sleazy....is that the silver lining :p :

and one more thing,I wouldn't believe that Alonso wouldn't have knowledge of this before....he must have known about this...something like this can't be kept from another member of the team.
