Hot damn, this will be interesting... esp if proof of Alonso's involvement or knowledge comes out.

Shocking!

What a bunch of cheaters...and piquet is a little ***** if he allowed himself to be forced into smashing his car.

F1 teams and drivers are a bunch of liars and cheats it seems, Schumi, Lewis, Alonso, McLaren, Renault...all cheats and liars.

Seriously... Dunno about Lewis, he was pretty removed from Spygate, however, Alonso... man. If proof comes out, he's definitely a cheat.

McLaren, for sure, spygate pinned them down on this.

Renault will def pull out of F1 if FIA doesn't kick them out first.

While I'm not surprised about Briatore cheating, I'm a bit disappointed in Symonds as I've always thought he's one of the few decent guys left in F1.

Now who's going to replace Flav? I heard some rumors that the Professor will step in.

With Lewis I was talking about him lying earlier to the race stewards about being told to let Trulli past in Australia...he told a bareface lie and got caught out.

It'll be nice to see Prost on the pit wall, I hope it happens.

Ouch. Lifetime and five-year ban given to Flavio and Symonds respectively. The Renault team gets a 2 year suspended ban which basically means a slap on the wrist. Alonso, however, got off scott-free.

I'm pissed that Alonso didn't get punished by having his win removed, and that Renault didn't have constructors points stripped for that race.

Also, I'm pissed that Piquet didn't get punished, and that he was given immunity.

Piquet is finished unless daddy buys a team for him...F1 only likes fast cheats (Senna, Schumi, Alonso, Hamilton), a slow cheat like piquet is done for.
