One Brown is sorting the numbers while the other is seemingly fiddling them.
Other rumours have it that anti-depressants are free-flowing across Whitehall, causing effects such as muscle seizures, rapidly mood alterations and a habit for awful photo opportunities... Now I wonder who that could be...
But, for the purposes of this post, I wish to turn attentions to something far more scandalous than the bubbling antics of Team Brown. Rather, 'crash-gate'.
Allow me to explain a little for those not up to speed of this latest 'gate' gate. Primarily it involves an accusation of foul play, cheating, endangering life and greed oh and a formula one car and driver.
Nelson Piquet Jr., formerly of Renault F1, has accused his former team of cheating; ordering him to crash during the 2008 Singapore grand-prix causing a deployment of the safety car. This deployment allowed his former world champ. team-mate Fernando Alonso an advantage, being pitted moments before the accident.
Tonight, as things stand, an ugly exchange of words have emerged. The Piquets (Dad and Son) maintain that Jr. was acting under team orders whilst Renault, for their part, deny the claim and have launched legal action. The FiA is due to told a trial on Monday 21st Sept to apportion blame.
Perhaps what recent stories of cheating, both in F1 and Rugby League, best demonstrate is a determined ability to win by what-ever means. It's a political quality all to apparent at the moment, particularly if the words of the former Farming Minister Jayne Kennedy are to be taken as a whole.
One thing is 'for sure' though (a phrase you'll hear an amazing amount of in F1), the ensuing fireworks from F1 shall provide slightly more attractive viewing than the current wranglings over budget responsibilities...
