Interesting statement on Piquet's own website here:

I have received notice from the Renault F1 team of its intention to stop me from driving for them in the current F1 season. I want to say thanks to the small group who supported me and that I worked together at Renault F1, although it is obviously with great disappointment that I receive such news. But, at the same time, I feel a sense of relief for the end of the worst period of my career, and the possibility that I can now move on and put my career back on the right track and try to recover my reputation of a fast, winning driver.

Flavio would be in good company with the Borgia family.
Piquet was a dud IMNSHO but Briatore is a poisonous toad.

Junior has done pretty well in previous classes, but only because Piquet sr. bought him a team. Guess who's suddenly interested in buying the BMW team....?

BMW: better sell it back to Peter Sauber.. :kilroy:

No surprise again - you could see this coming even at the beginning of the season.....
