Would you employ this man?

No doubts some of you have been following this story and the leniency shown for Renault and Nelson Piquet jr. Do you actually believe that Nelson Piquet was ordered to do what he did? According Pat Symonds, it was actually his idea in the first place.

 

Sadly, with all the time and expertise invested in him, plus his genetic heritage, someone probably will. Different world, isn't it?

 

I would.

If he does what he's told then might make a good dogsbody/henchman/bodyguard....

 

Strikes me as the kind of guy who gets dumped by a girl for being just too boring, then plasters graffiti across the road from her house calling her a slut.

Gets zero respect from me.

 

He didn't though. He was told to drive faster but he didn't.

It's been suggested that he's the one came up with the idea in the first place.

 

I agree with Martin Brundle, he should not have been given immunity.

 

Briatore ban too harsh - F1 boss

I wonder if he'd have said the same thing if team's name was McLaren instead of Renault? .

 

I thought it telling that the ban was indefinite rather than permanent. I did think they'd let the dust settle a little before talking about letting him back in though!
