He was in the middle of the mclaren debacle, and he is in the middle of this and who knows what else. The fact he was given immunity to help bring down mclaren shows he is a cheater also. I belive that if they dig deep enough that he will be implicated as well. I am not an alonso hater but I am no longer a supporter either.

Perhaps this is why it was left so long before it came to light?? i believe this has been answered elsewhere, there is a cut off date for all grievances for any particular season, and i believe its around november or december of the end of that year, so in essence, even if they decide the whole race was to be shambled, the results for 2008 would remain.

Don't spoil the carreer of a spoiled guy to make another spoiled guy look good (remember: Piquet Jr. gave Lewis a hard time, Lewis gave Alonso a hard time, thus, supposedly, there would be no reason for Jr. not to give Alonso a hard time - other than being given a quite different equipment). 2. Don't cheat. If you can't resist doing the former, yield when blackmailed - a few years getting the results Piquet Jr. was having and his carreer would be finished anyway and you wouldn't lose your job. 3. Never be on the wrong side of Piquet Sr. A few lessons:

If he comes clean next week, he may be out of a job at Renault, but at least he has a wealth of potential new employers with the boatload of new entrants lining up. That is, if he isn't considered tainted goods. but hey, even stepney got working again for some time, even if it was only for that rather dubious serbian F1 venture. it certainly puts a new spin on the whole immunity thing the FIA offered Symonds.

The guy is a cheat, and encourages those around him to do the same. He is only going to Ferrari because of the McLaren scandal. Driving for Ferrari is his reward for nearly bringing down McLaren team. Just think about this, Ferrari is the team that has lied and cheated it's way to many a world championship, and now it will have Alonso driving for it, I feel bad for the other drivers and teams... you wait!!!
