If you were found guilty but you know you aren't guilty than you would certainly will have a go at disputing the verdict and try to restore your image and even freedom in some cases.Quote:

What other races and what driver positions were altered?Quote:

What if all those people who lost money because the results were fixed are going to sue the FIA and have judge grant a change of the results?!
It's interesting to read the Renault team comments after the GP in question:
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/70993Quote:
Fernando Alonso - 1st: "This is a fantastic result - my first podium of the season; my first victory and I'm very happy, although I think it will take several days for me to realise what we have achieved. Wining a Grand Prix here just seemed to be impossible because we missed our chance yesterday in qualifying, but we were very fortunate today and it's a superb result for the team. We chose a very aggressive strategy and we had a bit of luck, but we had the pace and the car was fantastic throughout the weekend."
Nelson Piquet - DNF: "From the start of the race things were complicated and I had a lot of graining and the situation got worse and worse. The team asked me to push, which I tried to do and finally I lost the rear of my car. I hit the wall heavily but I'm ok. I am disappointed with my race but obviously very happy for the team this evening."
Flavio Briatore, Managing Director ING Renault F1 Team: "This is an amazing victory for Renault and for Fernando. Since Friday we knew that the car was very competitive and we were very disappointed at the end of qualifying. Today the car was extremely quick, stronger than the Ferrari and McLaren, and although we had some luck when the safety car came out, we deserved this victory. It's a very important result for Renault after two difficult seasons and helps us prepare for 2009 in the best way possible."
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering: "I think the luck we had in the early part of the race was nearly a cancellation of the bad luck we had yesterday. The car has proven itself and so has Fernando. The whole result is a tribute to the team and this wonderful circuit is a tribute to Singapore!"
Particularly Briatore's comment that "It's a very important result for Renault after two difficult seasons." I wonder how much pressure was on the team from the Renault board to produce results, and whether that influenced things at all.
All seen with the benefit of hindsight of course...
Good for Flavio and Pat ---- Bravo Bravo
Hopefully all the people at Renault will keep their jobs. Flavio and Pat have enough money and they can pursue the Piquets outside of F1. I assume flavio and Pat will get a lifetime ban which is not a big deal now.
Perhaps Alonso should be taken out of the results but no one else should gain any points from it.Quote:

Pretty much everyone's race was affected by a premeditated criminal offense that and huge amounts of money were lost by people who did bet on that race as I'm pretty sure not many of them bet on Alonso who was starting 15th and on fumes.
You mean over Glock. I know Lewsi would have loved to be able to pass Vettel but he just wasn't good enough to do it.Quote:
