Renault is trouble for Singapour GP?

Renault has been summoned to appear before an extraordinary hearing of the FIA's World Motor Sport Council later this month to answer charges that it caused a deliberate crash in last year's Singapore GP.

The team's representatives have been asked to appear at the hearing, which takes place in Paris on September 21, to respond to claims that Nelson Piquet's crash in the night race was intentional - with the aim of helping team-mate Fernando Alonso win.

After it was revealed last weekend that the FIA was investigating the events that took place in Singapore, following the emergence of fresh evidence, the FIA confirmed on Friday that it believed there was a case to be answered.

In a statement the FIA said: "Representatives of ING Renault F1 have been requested to appear before an extraordinary meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Paris on Monday, 21 September 2009.

What a load of horse feathers, the FIA is grasping at straws, trying to rebuild its tarnished (and I'm being generous) reputation.
What team manager would give that kind of order? Where it can be heard and recorded by other, notably by the FIA and if the message was coded, it would imply premeditation, which is into the realm of fairy tales as far as I'm concerned. Lastly what kind of an idiot driver would follow this kind of order? Even with all the technological improvements on safety over the years, a crash into a wall is far to unpredictable to want to risk injury or worse.

I have the FIA guys. They will do anything in their power to limit the performances of the F1 cars. The development of the cars shouldn't be restricted.
