F1, Piquet crashes on purpose for Alonso win

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes from Piquet, but I wouldn't put it past Flav just so Alonso-the Chin could get his way and win. Never was a fan of Alonso and this just throws gas on the fire. Piquet had his shot due to his dad and now its time to just go home. Being a competitor is what gets my attention, being a sniveler cry baby makes me want to pull the diaper over his head

FIA to investigate 'events' at Singapore GP
Sunday 30th August 2009

Events at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix are under the microscope after the FIA confirmed that it has launched an investigation into the race.


"The FIA can confirm that an investigation is underway regarding alleged events at a previous World Championship race," a spokesperson told Autosport.


Renault's Fernando Alonso won the race despite starting 15th on the grid. He owed much of his success to team-mate Nelson Piquet jr after the Brazilian crashed in the early stages of the race.


The crash led to the deployment of the Safety Car and Alonso was perfectly set up for the victory as he refuelled moments before the incident.


Brazilian media speculated that Piquet was ordered to crash by the Renault team to help Alonso to take advantage of an early pit stop, but Piquet was quick to deny the reports.


However, the issue has come to light again just a few weeks after the French-based squad dropped Piquet jr in July.
