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…
