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.

That may be so, but on the other hand, without NP coming forward, we'd not know about it at all. And he wouldn't have done so without immunity.

Sometimes, we have to be pragmatic.

And he won't be driving an F1 again, I think.

Interestingly, Autosport claims that with only minor reading between the lines, their race report at the time said that his crash was deliberate. I don't always read them, having watched, and I don't recall that; I no longer keep them, so can't check.
