Doesnt read well and looks like they are lining up Flavio. A difficult decision for Pat Symonds to make.
Could it really be true?

Well they are hardly going to say live on air 'Right Nelson ,time to put it in the wall '
The team principles have fallen on their swords and Renault are not going to contest ... obviously some fire there .
it would be ridiculous to use the radio
Oh god.. not this again
Thing is, Piquet never needed help to crash either
piquet was usually binning it anyway
Really sorry for you and your mates at work Andrew I hope that you all come out of this OK. At this time, needed like a hole in the head eh.
Well they have both quit now ,so what will happen to Renault ? This season and next maybe Renault will finish completly ? ? F1 has had some stick over the years
Having worked for an f1 team for some years they have drivers briefings where every single event that could happen is spoken about and yes it could have been planned in that briefing simple as, as for radio message they use all sorts of code words and numbers as other teams listen to the radio, what you hear on TV is just a patch on what gets really said, also with telemetry they can message the steering wheel as well.
Not the first time things like this have happened, even drivers try to cheat off there own backs, remember Michael Sch. trying to ram cars off the track to win the title then claim it was a driver error, this thing has gone on before people.
The only ones i feel for are the boys in the pits and at the factory the ones that do the long days and nights to put these cars on the track, i hope for them that Renault do not call it a day due to this.
Drivers move on easier then staff.
Still can't believe Piquet is effectively walking away scott free from this.
well renault f1 got a 2 year ban , and fabio got life ban , whats your thoughts ?? i think it was a fair result
Andy, I'd have taken his racing license from him, he is just as guilty as Briatore and Symonds.
I still can not quite believe how the FIA have handled this. You can't give someone complete immunity to something they had control over themselves even if they were under pressure from all angles if you will.
Ridiculous.
It is a suspended sentence. So they will be suspended for 2 years on their next breach of the regulations.
