Probably didn't affect the race outcome, but a bit suspicious, don't you think? Did FIA pull the plug or was it one of the Ferrari boys who sneaked around to the back of Renault garage and fiddled with the fusebox?

I wondered how long it would be before the conspiracy theories started!
I think that if the last month or so hadn't have happened, no one would give this a second thought, I think it was just one of those things. NOT Sabotage!

I think it is all fixed, I mean Schuey decides to retire at the end of this season, and by some sheer luck he has managed to catch Alonso on points. Now I know Schuey is a master behind the wheel, but it has all been too easy these last few races, and we all know that Schuey holds good stead with the FIA. With two races to go, I am waiting with anticipation as to the outcome of 'Who will be the 2006 Champ'.

I think Renault staff were very nervous as they were noticing that the race was getting out of their hands. Shumacher played a psicological game not only to Fisico and Alonso but also to the entire Renault team.

I think there was permanent Blackout at the Renault pits so they could not bring Alonso into the pits at the right time and add to which he was running a lap or more on the worn-out tyres which caused his car to slow down.
What I think it was not done by anybody deliberately; it was a technical problem they endured.

Yup it was suspicious and it definitely affected the race outcome in China. Do you know how vital a role each team's operations hut plays in every race?? Mathematicians, race strategists, race engineers, technical directors, team bosses, etc... use every bit of information they can get, in those huts, on every moment of a race situation in order to plan the next step to take in order to stay one step ahead over their competitors. So to do without it would be unimaginable, that was probably why Briatore slammed the table. Like the saying goes, "Knowledge is power". Its has been very dodgy in F1 lately with penalties given to Alonso for dangerous driving during practice at Hungary and for allegedly blocking Massa during q'fying at Monza and now a sudden black out that only happened to one of the 2 teams battling for the championship. All of which made the so called "ambassador" and future retiree of F1 to now take the lead in the championship and potentially going on to win his 8th world title at the end of the season. Really sad.....

It did affect the outcome of the race, because the communications between Fernando and the team also blacked out, this meaning they weren't able to work well on the strategy. This ruined their race.
The fiber optic cable had been found to be cut.
SABOTAGE!!!!!!!!

yeah, 'just a bad accident'.. but it's really suspicious that it happened EXACTLY when Alonso was pitting.. coincident? might be.. but it IS suspicious anyway.

You probably watch too many movies ;)
I don't think it is a sabotage, just a bad accident.
