Briatore out over Renault repair strip his position have been left by NNP NNP Briatore as employer of the Renault group once they didn't contest charges of repairing the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. [/B] the team have been also left by Executive director NNP engineering Pat Symonds. Renault were summoned by governing human anatomy, the FIA, after Nelson Piquet Jr stated he'd been expected to accident to simply help team-mate Fernando Alonso's competition. An FIA representative established a Global Motor Sport Council reading in Paris on Monday might proceed. Renault have now been called to answer charges they "conspired with Nelson Piquet Jr to result in a planned accident at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix with the goal of evoking the implementation of the security car to the benefit of its different driver, Fernando Alonso." The reading may make an effort to attribute responsibility for the Singapore "crash-gate" regardless of the information that Briatore and Symonds have remaining Renault. sanctions could be still imposed by NNP FIA if Renault are observed guilty, including eliminating the team from the tournament, though that must definitely be considered impossible given the a couple Piquet said were accountable have now left the team. Piquet failed in Singapore two temps after Alonso had are available in for a program pit stop. That meant that when competition authorities sent the security car to clean up the dirt from Piquet's car, Alonso was alone one of the front-runners in lacking to prevent for fuel and tyres. Renault's dual world champ continued to simply take the chequered flag at Formula 1's inaugural evening competition and declare his first triumph in 2 yrs. At the time, Piquet attributed the accident to an easy mistake, but after being lowered by the group after July's Hungary GP the race-fixing accusations surfaced. The Brazilian has because testified to the FIA he was directed by Briatore and Symonds when and where you can accident. JPLotus79 Renault's reaction was to accuse the 24-year-old and his father Nelson Piquet of false accusations and blackmail, going so far as saying they legal action against them. But on Wednesday the group in a record they'd "not challenge the current accusations produced by the FIA in regards to the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix." The record added: "The group also desires to convey that its executive director of executive, Pat Symonds and its managing director, Flavio Briatore, have remaining the team." BBC pundit and former group chef Eddie Jordan said he was amazed by Renault's statement but thinks it was properly an admission of guilt. "By indicating they're perhaps not likely to contest the claims is by itself an Jordan told the BBC. "That is how I view it. Legitimately, there might be another debate. I believe this can be a clear-cut entrance and I'm amazed. "I don't understand what continues in groups but certainly in the Jordan group you'd contemplate a variety of issues but you certainly couldn't contemplate that." It remains to be viewed whether this latest dispute, and the departure of Briatore and Symonds, may influence Renault's choice in which to stay Formula 1. Briatore had refused speculation that the French team's potential was under threat and the group have authorized a brand new Concorde Agreement in which to stay F1 until 2012. But this latest dispute, along with a decrease in vehicles revenue, might however have consequences for the team of around 700, who are are used at the team's headquarters in Enstone, in Oxfordshire, and Viry-Chatillon in Paris.
