Nelson Piquet Jr claims that he has become the major victom of the Renault 'crashgate' scandal and admits it will be tough to begin his Formula 1 career all over again.

Piquet says the plan for him to crash to benefit team-mate Fernando Alonso's strategy was only made shortly before the race, claiming he did not have time to think it through and that he was under pressure for his place in the team.

If the guy things this slowly he should never have had a driving licence!

"It all happened so quickly, I must confess that I could never possibly have weighed up the consequences," he said. "I was in a difficult position at the time and the renegotiation of my contract was in play if I didn't accept the strategy. I was taken by surprise by the request of the two most important people in the team — after all, one of them was my manager.

"The crash plan was only made hours before the race, I did not have time to think straight. If the proposal had been made during free practice I would have had more time to think and to act in another way."

Yeah... what a tough decision. He later goes on to say that had Piquet Senior been there he probably wouldn't have done it, what a pity his "brains" stayed at home that weekend!
