    From F1 website


    Ahead of Monday's Extraordinary meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in which Renault faces charges of conspiring with Nelson Piquet to cause a deliberate crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, the team announced today that both Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds have left the team.

    "The ING Renault F1 Team will not dispute the recent allegations made by the FIA concerning the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix," a statement reads.

    "It also wishes to state that its managing director, Flavio Briatore and its executive director of engineering, Pat Symonds, have left the team. Before attending the hearing before the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Paris on 21 September 2009, the team will not make any further comment.


    Last Friday, September 11, the team announced that they and Briatore had commenced legal proceedings against Piquet and his father over 'false allegations' and 'attempted blackmail'. The team has not clarified its current stance with regard to this matter.

            So it's a slap on the writs then, a suspended ban for 2 years, basis;

            "The World Motor Sport Council will only activate this disqualification if Renault F1 is found guilty of a comparable breach during that time.”


            A comparable breach being team instructions to crash another car then

                  aye too much at stake for Red bull too -

                  liked Brundles comment that Piquet jnr is now almost unemployable - who would want him knowing what he did till time they got shot of him
