Blimey! Renault have put their hands up to getting Piquet to deliberately crash, and Briatore and Symonds have resigned. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8258987.stm Hardly cricket, is it? -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and go and talk to the Catholics.
It was a Renault. I don't know why they just didn't claim an electrical failure - everyone would have believed that. Or a little plastic bit snapped off.
So much for sportsmanship, not that there was much of it left to start with. One more reason to watch MotoGP, where teammates hate each other's guts (see both Yamaha teams). Good riddance to Briatore, I never liked the bastard anyway [1] Is it me, or does every team that Alonso goes to lately, turn from a respectable contestant with a long history in racing to a shower of c*nts? Geo [1] Possibly pure envy, he was shagging all that talent despite his face/looks.
