Default Two-year suspended ban for Renault over Singapore

Report pulled from here:
http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/9/9953.html


Renault have been disqualified from the FIA Formula One World Championship, with the ban suspended for two years, after the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) found them guilty on Monday of conspiring to cause a deliberate crash in last year

So what does immunity for Piquet mean? That Renault can't sue him or that the FIA can't sue him?
If Alonso is switching teams, is he still suspended for two years?

I'm sorry but NP Jr. is as much as fault as any of them. The fact that he came forward with it should not grant him immunity. Especially this late and only bringing it forward after he gets teh cut. If he would have said something right after it happened, or even during last season I might feel like yes he should have immunity but screw this guy. I mean honestly I do not think he has a future in F1 but he should suffer the same fate as the others where he cannot partake in any racing...tell the dude to come on over to NASCAR.

Alonso isn't penalized and Piquet is a tool.

btw, there's already a thread about this hearing w/ results.

The World Motor Sport Council will only activate this disqualification if Renault F1 is found guilty of a comparable breach during that time.
So basically Renault is under a 2 year probation and if they don't do anything of the same nature again, they're off the hook? I don't get this suspended ban business.

NP Jr is an asswipe, I would be shocked if he ever gets a ride in anything more than a city bus...

I will miss Flavio!!!

What is is with FA? Good grief, does he ever get himself into bad teams or what?
