    F1's darkest day

    With the admission of Renault that they cheated in Singapore last year by firing Briatore and Symond, they have cast a very dark cloud over the sport that I have loved since the mid sixties, I'm disgusted that such very dangerous antics could take place.
    Beside the above mentioned individuals, Alonso should be fired as well, there is no way that he could not have been in on the scam.
    Beside Piquet who's been canned earlier, Briatore, Symond and Alonso should all be banished from any form of motor sport for life, including Piquet's father.

    Autosport analysis, a pretty good read

    When news first broke at the Belgian Grand Prix that the FIA was conducting an investigation into the events at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, the initial suspicion was that this was a case of a disgruntled former employee going out for revenge.


    The matter then disappeared below the radar for several days, with neither Renault nor the Piquets making any further comment about it prior to the FIA World Motor Sport Council hearing in Paris on September 21.
    Yet that all changed in the build-up to the Italian Grand Prix when, on the Wednesday night before the race, AUTOSPORT revealed the first details about the case - and how it revolved around a pre-race meeting between Nelson Piquet Jr., Pat Symonds and Flavio Briatore.


    That story resulted in the Renault controversy building up a huge news momentum, with leaked documents, claims and counterclaims from Renault, plus numerous press briefings at Monza dominating the weekend before it was capped off with the departure of Briatore and Symonds on Tuesday this week.With the events having moved on so quickly, AUTOSPORT has pulled together all we know so far to shed some light on the affair.
