Korea aiming for 2010 calendar spot

With considerable support of the government, Korea is hoping for a place on the 2010 Formula One Grand Prix calendar even though the provisional dates have already been released. And with the government backing up the event, hopes have increased that the Formula One approved race circuit will be completed in time.

The CEO of Korean race promoter KAVO (Korea Auto Valley Operation Company Young-Cho Chung said,
"With the passing of the F1 Act and the construction of the circuit well above its progression rate, the dream of having an international motorsport circuit has become a reality for the motorsports community."

"By maintaining strong cooperative relationships with the central government and with the support on a national level, we will do our best to make the 2010 F1 Korean Grand Prix an event of unprecedented success."

(CNN) -- Renault's Formula One team was handed a two-year suspended ban by the sport's governing body Monday after a hearing into their part in fixing the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.

The 26-strong World Motor Sport Council of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), met for 90 minutes to discuss allegations by former Renault driver Nelson Piquet Jr. that he was ordered to crash deliberately during last year's race.

As a result, former team boss Flavio Briatore was banned from FIA-sanctioned events for an unlimited period, while ex-engineering director Pat Symonds was excluded from the sport for five years.

Both men quit the team last week after Renault decided against contesting the allegations.

A statement on the FIA Web site said: "The World Motor Sport Council considers Renault F1's breaches relating to the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix to be of unparalleled severity.

"Renault F1's breaches not only compromised the integrity of the sport but also endangered the lives of spectators, officials, other competitors and Nelson Piquet Jr. himself."

Renault, one of the strongest teams in Formula One, could have faced expulsion from the sport, but the council revealed it took into account Renault's willingness to "address the failings within its team and condemn the actions of the individuals involved."

The individuals in question were identified by Renault at the hearing as Briatore and Symonds.

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone had previously hinted that the resignations might be enough to avoid the ultimate sanction of expulsion.

"I think we need to show balance," said the 78-year-old

"What they did was very serious. There can be no excuse, but they have acted quickly to get rid of the culprits, and that must be borne in mind."

Renault president Bernard Rey gave evidence at the hearing as well as Piquet Jr.

Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso, who went on to win the Singapore Grand Prix for Renault after the alleged fake crash, also addressed the council.

The saga comes in the wake of last year's "spygate" scandal which saw McLaren fined a record $80 million and a row between leading teams and world governing body FIA (International Automobile Federation) over a budget cap for next season.

The first grand prix held under lights in Singapore last year proved an eventful affair and Alonso won the race -- the first for Renault in two years -- despite starting from 15th on the grid.

Just two laps after Alonso came in early to take on more fuel, Piquet's crash forced the deployment of the safety car and the subsequent pit stop of nearly all other drivers, an action that promoted Alonso to fifth from where he went onto to secure victory.

Piquet attributed the crash to a simple error at the time, but subsequently changed his story after falling out with the French team and being sacked.

Kimi has an agreement with McLaren

A dispute with Ferrari over his salary is the only thing holding up Kimi Raikkonen's return to McLaren, according to a report.


Raikkonen's position at the Italian team is under threat with continued rumours claiming that Fernando Alonso will be taking his race-seat next season.


The Finn, who drove for McLaren from 2002 until 2006, has previously stated that he is prepared to go to another team next year if Ferrari decide to get rid of him.


"If for some reason I am not at Ferrari next season I know I'll have a seat at another team in the paddock," he recently told the British press.


The Mirror reports that a move back to McLaren is in line for Raikkonen.


'Paddock sources say the Finn, 29, has signed an outline agreement to return.


'But first he has to settle a dispute with his current employers. He is refusing to step down unless he is paid all of his 2010 £30m salary.'


Engine supplier Mercedes, though, is thought to be in favour of a move for Williams' Nico Rosberg.


'The deal could explain McLaren's increasingly tense relationship with engine supplier Mercedes, who wanted German Nico Rosberg in the car.'

FIA probubly gave him immmunity as the higher ups were taken down who gave the order. basically like a cop doing a drug bust and nelson being the dealer who spills the beans for a drug lord.


Quite frankly i think renault got off easy. too easy. and even though nelson has immunity no other F1 team will want to hire him as he showed no team loyalty.

Flavio used a 2009 F1 drive at Renault to help entice him.

Rookies always do what the higher ups tell them to. Look at Hamilton earlier this year in Liargate at the Australian GP

Renault got away easily imo compared to McLaren's verdict in Spygate, which was 100m USD fine and disqualification from the WCC that year.

Really how come McLaren got a $100M fine and Renault got a suspended sentence?

And just getting rid of Briatore?? he should face the Court also.

Just goes to show what happens behind the scenes when the money in sports gets to such incredible heights.

Look at the drivers, you want me, X million dollars, you want to get rid of me, 2X million dollars.

F1 needs to look at other areas to cut costs, instead of limiting testing and R&D.

yuh understand?......see?...EVEN MEH FADDA notiec it......but naaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!....

But Briatore cannot have any involvement with any F1 event, team or driver for life!

It gets complicated because he manages both Alonso, Webber, and owns a piece of Kovalienen so it looks like he'll have to end his contracts with them at the end of the season.

Dude just cost himself $10MM a year easy...

FIA forcing drviers that are under him to let him go....sheit....out in tha cold!!

As regards Mr. Briatore, the World Motor Sport Council declares that, for an unlimited period, the FIA does not intend to sanction any International Event, Championship, Cup, Trophy, Challenge or Series involving Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever, or grant any license to any Team or other entity engaging Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever. It also hereby instructs all officials present at FIA-sanctioned events not to permit Mr. Briatore access to any areas under the FIA’s jurisdiction. Furthermore, it does not intend to renew any Superlicence granted to any driver who is associated (through a management contract or otherwise) with Mr. Briatore, or any entity or individual associated with Mr. Briatore. In determining that such instructions should be applicable for an unlimited period, the World Motor Sport Council has had regard not only to the severity of the breach in which Mr. Briatore was complicit but also to his actions in continuing to deny his participation in the breach despite all the evidence

He's banned from the FIA paddock also.

At least he could boast having knocked up Heidi Klum...

^ some people say winning is cheating without getting caught - I guess this time, this one got caught.

Piquet Jr. got immunity for talking. Teams may still seek the services of Briatore and Symonds when or if their ban expires. But I'm sure Nelson better start looking for some taxi to drive.

Flavio Briatore's fate was sealed by the evidence of a secret whistleblower within Renault, codenamed 'Witness X'.
