Dodgy Business
Could Nelson Piquet's crash at Singapore that allowed Fernando Alonso to return to the front of Formula One have been a spot of dodgy business? And, following back-to-back victories, could Alonso yet play a part in the outcome of this year's championship? Tony Dodgins investigates
I couldn't help but smile when I noticed Fernando Alonso mischievously ramping up a bit more pressure on Lewis Hamilton last Sunday night. Yes, he said, he'd be helping Felipe Massa if the opportunity arose.
Lewis has enough to worry about without Fernando sticking his oar in and this coming weekend at Shanghai promises to be fascinating. If Fuji is any barometer, Alonso and Renault are now almost quick enough to be a nuisance.
