London, Oct 9 : Disgraced former Renault Formula One racing driver Nelson Piquet Jr has said that he is looking forward to make a comeback to F1 racing less that 12 months after the Singapore Grand Prix fiasco.

According to reports, the 23-year-old is on the shortlist for new Spanish entrants Campos and he is also in contact with a number of F1 outfits.

Piquet Jr believes that it is crucial to make a swift return to rescue his motor racing career.

London, Oct. 5 : Nelson Piquet Junior claims his former team Renault had "threatened" to withdraw his contract unless he agreed to purposefully crash during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.

In what has become known as ''crashgate'', the French manufacturer was last month found guilty of causing an accident to aid the cause of their driver Fernando Alonso, who went on to win the race.

Monza, Italy - Nelson Piquet Jr has told Formula One investigators he was asked to crash by his Renault team at last year's Singapore Grand Prix, according to a British press report Thursday.

The team has been summoned to appear in front of an extraordinary meeting of the World Motor Sport Council of the sport's controlling body FIA on September 21.

Allegations have been made that Piquet deliberately crashed during the race to force a safety car phase, which in turn would benefit Fernando Alonso.

The Spaniard, who had come into the pits for a fuel stop unusually early in the race, went on to win.
