If you are after, auto racing, you probably heard about the latest Formula One scandal, dubbed Crashgate. More than 2008 F1 Singapore GP, the Renault team consisting of Fernando Alonso and Nelson Piquet Jr, qualified in 15th and 16 place, and should not no hope of winning the race. As it happened, Piquet deliberately crashed his car in Lap 14. Its aim is to bring you safety car worked as Alonso, who refueled before he went to his forehead and was probably won 1st ever night race in Formula One One of history.

But now the truth out and fall over this scandal begins. Alonso denied any knowledge of the conspiracy and was cleared The International Automobile Federation (FIA) of any wrongdoing. Renault was also handed over 2 years suspended sentence, which would see is prohibited, if found guilty of violation in the next 2 years. But what 3 numbers a major role in the scandal? Flavio Briatore, Renault team boss got a colorful life ban on participation in all forms of motor sports, while the chief engineer Renault's Pat Symonds, was banned for 5 years. However, it was Nelson Piquet Jr., the driver in the center of this scandal is not punished when he got immunity in exchange for providing evidence of a conspiracy.

However, most motorsport fans are up in arms to feel Renault to get much easier. Speculation on the FIA to the fullest extent in order to remain in the sport, which has already lost this season and Honda BMW has announced its pull at the end of the season. Penalties of Crashgate, sometimes described as the worst scandal in the history of Formula One, and fade compared with the previous scandals. McLaren, for example, was fined a whopping U.S. $ 100 million and had all the points in the Constructors' flops for espionage and possession of Ferrari technical data.

Few Formula One drivers can feel the decision also damaged. Felipe Massa, who lost the championship to Lewis Hamilton at one point, led the race before deliberate accident and may go on to win both the championship and the race he was forced to make an unscheduled pit stop. Nico Rosberg, German pilot in a team Williams, who ended up second, to feel that he deserves to be the rightful winner.

And what is the future of Nelson Piquet Jr.? Although many feel that it went down slightly, by any team to hire someone who deliberately crashed his car? Only time shows.
