Renault and Piquet would not comment on the FIA ​​investigation into the Singapore crash

Renault and its former driver Nelson Piquet Jr have declined to comment on reports of an investigation by the FIA ​​into an alleged accident caused voluntarily by the Brazilian on the team's orders at last year's Singapore GP. According to Brazilian TV Globo, Piquet was asked to crash to cause the safety car to come in and allow his teammate, Fernando Alonso, to go on to win by exploiting the strategy.

According to The Guardian, the French team could even decide to withdraw if accused of "cheating".

"A spokesperson for the Renault team declined any comment" as did a press officer for Piquet.
