Yeah Brundle was born just after Schumacher retired! And there were no journalists before him. :rotflamo:Quote:

Well, quite. I didn't understand most of the post you quote, to be honest.Quote:

Forgive me for being cynical, but when the SPANISH motorsport head - who previously slammed Renault's one-race ban because it would affect Alonso - goes on-record slamming NPJ for starting this (and if he hadn't been offered immunity, he would never have said anything and everyone knows it), I'm a tad sceptical about his motives...
Why should the punishment be difference between Michael Schumacher's intentional crash into Hill and Villeneuve in the last "championship-deciding" race of TWO seasons and PiquetJr intentional crash into a Pat Symonds-indicated safe WALL? so that Alonso could win a single non-championship deciding race.
Both rookie PiquetJr and NOT-rookie Michael had a choice, in which they failed the sport of FormulaOne.
After Michael's repeated violation, he did seem to get why it was wrong but not because of sportmedia exclusives from the likes of Brundle, Lauda, Gracia suggesting that anyone connected to Renault should exit F1 forever -- unlike Michael losing something he has already lost when he was not successful in knocking Villeneuve off the winning lap.
Very different world we live in when the punishment changes to suit Brundle, Lauda, Gracia extremists.
Why do we hear this story and not the glorious hi-tech designs of FormulaONE? MotoGP or Bourdais wins SuperLeague are much more fun to watch.
Maybe because the two situations are very different?!Quote:

Gracia believes Piquet is equally culpable in the affair and should also face the hearing.
"This kid, if it was up to me, wouldn't be allowed to walk blind people on the sidewalk," Gracia told Spanish radio station Onda Cero. "It's such yobbish behaviour from which he has also benefited, because, like he says in his sworn statement, he did it so he would get a contract renewal for 2009, and he will be paid until the end of the year.
"In that case this is a person should not only be sanctioned by the Council and the FIA, but he should also be prosecuted in an ordinary court.
"I found out through the press that Mr Nelsinho was going to get immunity. It would be a total shamelessness if this happened in the FIA."
