In a season of highs and lows for F1, thankfully the latest scandal was resolved quickly. I'm still dumbstruck that someone could actually instruct a driver to crash on purpose, and that any driver would agree to that level of insanity. That is just way beyond being told to let your team mate pass.
Given that Renault is contemplating leaving F1 anyway, suspending Renault's disqualification until the end of the 2011 season, is not that harsh given the severity of what occurred. I suspect that this guarantees that Renault will leave F1 at end of the 2009 season. There just isn't any compelling reason for them to stay any more.
And you know what? If Nelson Piguet Jr hadn't been fired, none of this might ever have come to light. Which makes me wonder, has anything this severe ever happened before? We may never know. Until now, I never thought anyone in F1 could stoop this low.
