London – Renault will face charges of fixing last year’s SingTel Singapore Grand Prix by staging a crash that helped Spaniard Fernando Alonso win, Formula One’s governing body said on Friday.
The International Automobile Federation (FIA) said in a statement that Renault’s representatives had been summoned to an extraordinary meeting of its World Motor Sport Council in Paris on Sept 21.
This year’s Singapore race will be held on Sept 27.
The charges were that ‘the team conspired with its driver, Nelson Piquet Jr, to cause a deliberate crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix with the aim of causing the deployment of the safety car to the advantage of its other driver, Fernando Alonso’.
If found guilty, the 2005 and 2006 champions could be fined or kicked out of the world championship. Continue reading
