LOL at some of the non believers....if only you knew half of who actually made desicions and for what reasons in F1 you'd never watch it
Ah I see your logic now. Renault are subsidised by the French Government as an incentive to keep manufacturing in France. Renault Sport as a part of the company get a financial incentive to stay in France.
However, given that the manufacturing side of the F1 team are in Enstone, they arent privvy to any money from the French government. And they dont need it anyway Mild Seven pump in ~50M Euros a year. Into a total budget of around $200M
So they are quite happy to throw away a race just to avoid Fisichella winning a race.
As for underhand tactics in F1. Got any examples? Bet I have....
