I did it for Renault"
Today the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris, France has decided in favor of Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds.
Former Renault team principal Briatore and director of engineering Symonds had both taken their case to the French court in an attempt to overturn the ban the Formula One's governing body, the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), had imposed on them after the Renault crash-gate scandal. The race-fixing scandal also involved young driver Brazilian Nelson Piquet, who crashed his Renault deliberately to cause the deployment of the safety car during the Singapore Grand Prix in 2008, which resulted in a win for the other Renault driver
, Spaniard Fernando Alonso, currently employed by the Ferrari team.
