F1 shenanigans

So (according to the Beeb) Renault have been a 2 year ban.

Suspended.

Flavio has been banned from all FIA events for an unlimited period (presumably, that means 'for life).

Symonds has a 5 year ban from F1, and I suspect he feels lucky to only have that much.

Gosh. Not really a lot to say, but, Gosh.


(I note that the ban doesnt start until after next season)

No, it's suspended, starting now, for 2 years. Like a suspended sentence in a UK criminal court, this means the ban is waiting to be enacted at any point in the next 2 years, if Renault do anything else naughty. If they're good boys for the 2 years, the ban goes away without ever being enacted.

Cheers. I misunderstood that.
