There is a conspiracy theory going about that Nelson Piquet Jr. deliberately crashed his Renault F1 to bring out the safety car. This in turn favored Alonso driving the number 1 Renault for a race victory. Numerous drivers has also raised concerns that the crash indeed seemed deliberate. Massa should have won the race if it wasn't for the safety car period. Now the FIA is stepping in for an investigation.

Hamilton won the championship from Massa with just a single point after Brazil. If the FIA do find evidence of the conspiracy being true, then it would not be far fetched that Renault will be excluded in the 2008 Singapore GP. Stripping Alonso of the win as well. This in turn would give the win and 10 points back to Massa which was leading the race before the incident. These extra points would then compromise the entire 2008 world championship as the championship will be stripped from Hamilton and awarded to Massa.

For Hamilton haters this is good news, but for F1 as a whole it is not a good scenario. The record books will show that 2008 was a championship won due to conspiracy and took more than a year to resolve. Definitely not good for any sport.
