NASCAR Has The Mayfields and F1 Has The Piquets
9/11/2009 10:07 AM
I guess every sport has it's
'family'.
1) After a year and a half Renault let Piquet (0 points 2009) go after the Hungarian GP
2) A few weeks ago at Spa it was announced that the FIA was investigating an 'older race'.
The older race turned out to be the Singapore GP won by Alonso who had the great fortune of pitting just before the safety car was deployed for a crash. A crash by his teammate Nelson Piquet jr. The conspiracy theorists had Piquet crashing on team orders. It turns out that Nelson's (Sr. & Jr.) grew a conscience since Jr's termination from Renault and blew the whistle on Briatore for race fixing.
3) Today it was announced by
Renault that they have begun criminal proceedings against the Piquets alleging that the father and son tried to blackmail Renault to keeping Jr as their driver.
And NASCAR fans thought the Evernham-Mayfield-Crocker mess was bad?
