F1 shenanigans

[bellinghman]

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.

Think they'll stick around for next season?

I think they probably have to, otherwise it'd be hard to ever come back.

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


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

And for the moron who actually drove his car into a wall putting himself, his competitors, the stewards and - gosh - the paying public at risk? Why, nothing of course, because he is a man of principle who ratted out his mates and employers a long time after the event and then only because he was told what everyone else had known for a long time, that he wasn't good enough for F1 whatever his father had done.

This leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
