The identity of the hitherto mysterious 'Witness X' has been revealed by a British newspaper, with the fourth member of Renault F1 privy to the 'Singapore-gate' conspiracy widely held to have provided the vital evidence that earned Flavio Briatore a lifetime ban from all FIA-sanctioned motorsport

The scandal involving Renault and allegations that it fixed the result of the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix continues to unfold after Nelson Piquet claimed the FIA were made aware of the incident some ten months ago.

Williams technical director Patrick Head has admitted that he, and others with him, thought that there was something odd about Renault's strategy in last year's Singapore Grand Prix, but insists that he would be bad for Formula One if the squad was found to have 'fixed' the race.

The Renault team has revealed that it is to seek legal redress against the Piquet family amid what it claims are attempts to use suspicions over last year's Singapore Grand Prix as a means to blackmail individuals within the organisation.

Fernando Alonso has claimed that, had his Renault team instigated extreme tactics to enable him to win last year's Singapore Grand Prix, he was unaware of them.
