f1 lore back in 2008, Renault fixed a race for Fernando Alonso, by asking his teammate, Nelson Piquet, to deliberately crash his car into the wall, in a moment where it was strategically advantageous to them

f1 lore the driver who did it got away clean because he blew the whistle about the whole thing (the next year, after he was fired from the team due to poor results)

Fernando Alonso too, since it couldn't be proved that he was aware of the whole conspiracy

Renault had a suspended two year ban from the sport, since they had aided with the investigation

the only ones who were actually sentenced for it were the Chief Engineer and the Team Principal, the ones who orchestrated everything, facing a 5 year and indefinite ban respectively. but this was overturned by a French court. so, since last year, the Team Principal is back as Team Principal

f1 lore @kitten I wonder why companies want to advertise on F1 cars if the chances are high that they will forever be linked to some nasty accident

f1 lore @lis fun that you mention that, because Renault as a team only faced a suspended sentence (since they had aided with the investigation), but they had a lot of trouble with money and their main sponsors, since they refused to have their logos in their cars any more
