Renault thinking of letting Flavio Briatore go amid ’crash-gate’ scandal

But recent developments have showed that Renault just might be doing more than just covering up their actions after word got out that Renault is thinking of replacing Briatore for Frederic Vasseur, the team boss of ART in the GP2 league.

The move is being seen as a sign that Renault is trying to appease the World Motor Sports Council.

It’s a surprising move by Renault, which to be honest, sounds like they’re doing it just to alleviate – or lessen – whatever penalties the WMSC may impose on them.

In the event that it actually happened, it puts a black eye on the Singapore GP’s inaugural race, a history-making event due to it being the first-ever night race in F1 history, and worse than that, puts this year’s race, which will happen at the tail-end of September, under some serious scrutiny.
