Taken from BBC website:-

'Renault had been called to answer charges that they "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."

Piquet crashed two laps after the Spaniard had come in for a routine pit stop.

That meant that when race officials sent out the safety car to clear up the debris from Piquet's car, Alonso was alone among the front-runners in not having to stop for fuel and tyres.

Renault's double world champion went on to take the chequered flag at Formula 1's inaugural night race and claim his first victory in two years.'

Yes it would if our team was clever enough to orchestrate something like that. Mind you Brians pretty cute with Ross Brawn type tactics at the last one.
I`d better warn the others going to lakeside international raceway soon, in case you get any ideas.
