FIA Launches F1 fix probe...

dxb335d · 08-31-2009, 09:28 AM

F1 plunged into a new cheating row this weekend after it has emerged the sports governing body (FIA) are investigating claims that Piquet JR was ordered to crash his car to help Alonso win the Singapore Grand prix last year! (Sep 08)

The main inquiries will be the timing of Piquets accident into the wall on lap 14, which came only 2 laps after Alonso gambled on an usually early pit stop. The safety car had to be deployed due to the accident.
All The other main contenders had to stop and some penalised for stopping when the pitlane was closed..

This if found true, could cause major issues for Reanult. I personally dont want another constructor to end up leaving the sport.

Scandals great but F1 needs the 20 cars, more if possible, for another two to leave would be terrible, especially if alonso is banned because every so often you see a flash of brilliance that amazes!!
