I've been reading about the "Race Fixing" over on EuroSport.com.
If it's true Flavio and co are in deep doo-doo! To me it sounds more like sour grapes from Piquet.
The only way I can see to prove this is through the recorded team radio conversations. Otherwise it is a disgruntled ex-employee seeking revenge.
Considering the situation, if found to be true, Piquet ought to be banned from all FIA events for being an active participant.
However the FIA have a history of going easy on the driver and hardon the team.
Look at the 2007 season. McLaren was disallowed from the contructors championship, but Alonso and Hamilton were allowed to compete using cars which profited from the Ferarri design.
On another note
Nurburg and Spa may resort to sharing a date on the calendar to reduce expenses. Hockenhiem is gone and instead we get Valencia, and on the horizon is India and South Korea.
So many of the founding European tracks can't afford to host a race thanks to Bernie. He's taking away races in areas where the auto manufacturers need exposure in exchange for big paydays from the Middle East and Asia.
