steviewevie Renault have surely got to be in big, big trouble ! Mclaren lost all their constructors points and got an enormous fine, so what's going to happen Renault for something even worse ?

There's a transcript of an interview between an FIA official and Pat Symonds of Renault here. The questions that Pat Symonds refuses to answer are quite telling !
The transcript of Piquet's confession to the FIA is here hock:
How some journalists are seeing it, not good for F1 ...
The worst act of cheating in the history of sport

To be honest, i think Renault may just leave the sport all together. If they get hit with a big fine in times like these, and dont look like theyre going to win anything back from it, then they will see it as a loss and leave the sport. They may return in a later date i dont know.
But i think its all fixed now. I just cant see how things happen a lot of the time. Hamilton crashing on the last lap.. Maybe a mistake, but why was he pushing that hard so late in the race. He had to catch 1.5 seconds AND overtake button to get the second place, so why not just hold back?
etc etc

Aye. . That was a bad bad example. But something just doesnt seem right. It doesnt seem competative anymore. Button was a mile infront after the first 7 races, but now all of a sudden hes only scraping 1-2 points. People blame it on the updates to car etc etc. But maybe they were told to hold back to make it closer, to attract more viewers and crowds. Nobody would watch if they knew who would win after race 9.
During the season things usually change a lot in terms of competitiveness. Often one team starts off the season well, people start saying they'll run away with the championship, but it's never that simple, because other teams catch up (if your car isn't performing well and you manage to figure out what's wrong with it, it's much much easier to make it a lot faster than the guys who already have a car that's doing well). This has happened loads of times before.
Brawn started off very well indeed and their car was doing brilliantly, but remember that the big boys spend a fortune on their wind tunnels, computer simulations etc, so Mclaren at al have sorted their cars a lot better and are now more competitive.
