of Brazilian Nelson Piquet's evidence in the latest 'race-fixing'
controversy revealed that, according to him, he was asked by his
Renault team to crash deliberately at last year's Singapore Grand
Prix.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/sport/motorsport/renault-asked-piquet-to-crash-says-transcript/2009/09/11/1252519628903.html?page=fullpage"><P>The sport, already struggling to recover from the black cloud

his engineering director Pat Symonds persuaded him to conspire to
cheat by crashing to help his team-mate Spaniard Fernando Alonso
win the race, which he did.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/sport/motorsport/renault-asked-piquet-to-crash-says-transcript/2009/09/11/1252519628903.html?page=fullpage"><P>In his lengthy statement Piquet said he agreed to crash, at a
