I bet that immunity Piquet negotiated for himself will prove really useful. The line of race teams wanting to hire him will be a mile long (not!).
Yep. I agree.
And that just shows that something has to be true.
It can't just be some sort of revenge.
Piquet just gave up his career and knows it.
I'm glad Briatore is gone. I never liked the mofo.

And what of Alonso, when you are an experienced 2 time World Champ, qualify 15th on a narrow, unfamiliar road coarse at night, and your team short fills the car for the first stint....you don't wonder what is up?

Not the best week for Renault...
Their biggest sponsor (ING, $65m per year) has cut ties with immediate effect (although they were likely to quit at the end of the season in any event) and another sponsor has also walked.
