), where Nelson Piquet Jr.'s premeditated crash handed his teammate Fernando Alonso a race win. The chaos caused by that crash arguably handed Hamilton the title, as the milieu sent race leader Massa down to 13th place, while Hamilton took third.After being cut by Renault during the middle of the 2009 season, Piquet Jr. admitted he'd been ordered to crash intentionally, bunching up the grid behind a safety car and handing Alonso the reins of the race.
