Aren't all F1 radio transmissions monitored?
So how could Renault tell Piquet to crash without somebody from the FIA hearing it?
Keep moving....Nothing to see here.

Piquet Jr. himself dismissed any talk of him deliberately crashing in the April issue of F1 Racing:
Yeah, I wanted to try and kill myself to help Fernando get a podium. I was pushing hard and I spun. The team called Fernando in at the right moment. Sh!t happens for me and he gets lucky. Like in pre-season testing this year!"
But seriously, I can't see that having happened: First, I don't think Piquet is that much of a team player-he probably wouldn't have done something that makes him look stupid just to help the team. Second, as such a move can hardly be pre-planned, Renault would have had to find a way to let Piquet know when to crash without the other teams and the FIA noticing.Oct. 31, 1999 - one of the blackest days in motorsports.

I suspect this will be a very hard thing to prove conclusively — which shouldn't stop the FIA imposing a penalty no matter what the outcome is, on recent form.

what a mess. why investigate now?
you can't argue with results.
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
