    He stepped down as Renault team boss after the Crashgate scandal, in which Nelson Piquet Jr. had to deliberately park his car in the wall to help Alonso to victory.

        Ah yes, the guy who famously left an F1 team because he wanted to have a say in driver choice would now go to a team where the owner’s mediocre son has a permanent seat, no discussion. Sure.

          Sound like peak Flavio. I can’t exactly why but he just sound like a con man every time I hear him speak. I guess the multitude convictions of fraud and confidence schemes just gets imbued in the voice.
