Nelson Piquet has this afternoon issued the following in reaction to today's announcement that Renault and Flavio Briatore is commencing criminal proceedings against him and his father.

Regarding the current FIA investigation, I confirm that I have co-operated fully and honestly with the sport's governing body. Because I am telling the truth I have nothing to fear, whether from the ING Renault Team or Mr Briatore and whilst I am well aware of the power and influence of those being investigated, and the vast resources at their disposal, I will not be bullied again into making a decision I regret.

I have every confidence in the FIA investigation and World Motor Sport Council and I will be making no further comment until the conclusion of the hearing of 21 September 2009.
