I don't think the FIA like Renault at the moment!! It's almost like they're trying to force one of the drivers to go to another team

I think they should investigate all those wins by MS when he was driving people off the road deliberately.

Piquet Jnr & Mosley both wanting to try and force Fabio out exactly the way Max succeeded in stopping Ron Dennis going to races.

Can't do that it would directly implicate the Mosley blessed soon to be head of the FIA.

I deeply suspect if (no lets be honest when) Todt takes over the throne we will look back on the back stabbing plotting, dirty tricks and show trials of the Mosley reign as halcyon days.

If Piquet Jr. is telling tales to get back at Flav (even if true) will not help his chances of a seat elsewhere!

Nose & face come to mind

You can imagine that coming over the radio:

"Yeah, confirm that we need you to crash and spray your car all over the track, hope you dont mind. Good luck and we will see you back in the pits in a bit!"

You can find a conspiracy in anything if you look hard enough. That just seems too tenuous to me.

I think he blew his chances of getting a seat elsewhere all by himself... didn't put in much of a showing when given the opportunity.

He wasn't as bad as some make out (compared to Badoer the young Piquet is a superstar) I suspect very few F1 drivers would choose to be #2 to Alonso in the Renault team.

We will get more of these raw new drivers who can't brake for a bend if they don't relax the ban on testing.

MikeR - 31/8/09 at 09:34 PM

Surely the years they spend coming through the ranks of karting/ Formula X / Y / Z will teach them to brake for a bend. the issue is do they have the talent to drive at the speeds required with the other drivers..........

hopefully a combination of the years coming through the ranks gives them one of those and driving hte previous years car (and therefore not testing) gives them the other.
