A word or two of advice...

If you're the manager of a car-racing team, and you arrange with one of your drivers (Nelsinho Piquet) before the race that he will crash his car on a specific lap to ensure that his teammate gains an advantage from making an early fuel stop... it might be worth then making sure that the driver in question doesn't then get angry at you when you fire him in the middle of the following season. Otherwise, he might tell people what you made him do... to quote:

Mr. Symonds, in the presence of Mr. Briatore, asked me if I would be willing to sacrifice my race for the team by “causing a safety car”.

After the meeting with Mr. Symonds and Mr. Briatore, Mr. Symonds took me aside to a quiet corner and, using a map, pointed me to the exact corner of the track where I should crash

Mr. Symonds also told me which exact lap to cause the incident upon, so that a strategy could deployed for my team-mate Mr. Fernando Alonso to refuel at the pit shortly before the deployment of the safety car, which he indeed did during lap twelve. The key to this strategy resided in the fact that the near-knowledge that the safety car would be deployed in lap thirteen/fourteen allowed the Team to start Mr. Alonso’s car with an aggressive fuel strategy using a light car containing enough fuel to arrive at lap twelve, but not much more. This would allow Mr. Alonso to overtake as many (heavier) cars as possible, knowing that those cars would have difficulty catching up with him later in the race due to the later deployment of the safety car. This strategy was successful and Mr. Alonso won the 2008 Formula One Grand Prix of Singapore.

Sounds a little fishy to me. And yes, they were very justified in firing him for being a rubbish driver - chances are, in fact, that if he hadn't crashed on purpose when he did, he may well just have crashed all of his own accord at some random point in the race anyway and saved everybody the hassles.

And also: it's good to see that Australia isn't the only country in the world where the internet speeds are rubbish...
