The piquet name has not been steeped in honour lately, to say the very least.

Piquet will struggle to ever get sponsors again. Two giants in F1 have now gone, Symonds and Briatore. Renault have lost their two most valued members, and F1's reputation has yet again take a hit.

Really, everyone loses after this.

Agreed.
Yes, I'll go with that too. What happens behind the scenes would not come out if all the participants where gentlemen. Piquets obviously have no honor code, if you agree to cheat, that's low enough, but come back after year to disgrace everyone that is a disgrace and not good to anyone.

I really can't think of anything about him that would be considered a recommendation for a seat in F1. His pace was dreadful. He crashed, a lot. He willingly crashed in a race, endangering people, so that he could keep his seat. He came clean only so that he could backstab Flavio, his boss. Why exactly would I want to hire him when there are infinitely more talented, reliable and honest drivers that can take his place? :confused:

How many are there really? Are there 28?

Unless he buys a team and his father runs it then Piquet will never get a drive again partly because he is s*** and partly because him and his father are scum!

Piquet's untrustworthy, dangerous and clearly lacking a moral compass, there's no way that I'd have him on my team. Quite frankly, I'd pick Badoer over Piquet so I'm sure I could round up 28 acceptable drivers without having to resort to him.

I hope we see him back in a car, in a fair team.

He had no option but to do what they said, if he didnt they would sack him, he wouldnt be able to tell anybody about there plans for him to crash as there would be no proof. everybody would just have said he got sacked for being rubbish and hes just making stuff up for revenge. it was a no win for piquet, with a person like briatore as a principle no body alonso can succeed, thank god hes gone.

please dont judge piquet by whatever his father did, its just unfair.

I'm judging Piquet by his actions and nobody elses. He did not have to deliberately crash, it was a choice and a dangerous one at that.

He did get sacked for being rubbish. He was just as involved as Pat and Flav if not more so you don't go and do something just because someone told you to. Another thing is that Piquet may still go down for blackmail i bloody hope he does!

[EDIT] Next stop for Piquet is court where he will probably get prosecuted!

Well Renault have gone to the police both in France and the UK and told them that Piquet blackmailed Renault and that Piquet threatened to reveal the information about Renault and the singapore crash if they sacked him. If Piquet actually did say that then he has committed blackmail.
