New 2008 World Champion?
by Will on Sep.16, 2009, under F1 News
Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds have left Renault as the race 
fixing scandal comes to a head. This implication of guilt begs the question… what will happen to all of Renault’s 2008 points? I’ve crunched some numbers and here is what I have:
If both Fernando Alonso and Nelsinho Piquet lose their points, nothing will change between Hamilton and Massa. One point still although they will both be 5 points richer
If just Piquet loses his points, then Massa goes up 3 points beating Hamilton by 2.
Check back on Sept. 21st for the results of the hearing…

Sweet site Will! I was in Alonso’s home town back when he was the F1 champ; the people went crazy! It’s just too bad he can’t find a good home for driving. He is still number one in my book, despite the constant scandal that seems to surround him.
Keep driving fast!

Thanks for the compliments Scott! To be in Spain while he was champ must have been great. The Spanish are such great supporters of their drivers. Alonso is going to Ferrari next year so expect to see him on the podium quite a bit. He is just the kind of development driver that Ferrari needs to win.
