And rightly so I would add.

Maybe not if Todt is elected. But lets hope so. One of the good guys but so was Symonds I thought......

I am Glad Briatore got banned he was a crook and a cheat, F1 will live on and be better without him.

For people like Flav Karma exists "what goes around comes around"

The sentence wasn't right at all.

Flav, Symonds and Piquet should all be locked up in Changi prison. Maybe that's why the former two resigned before Singapore.

You're mistaking the FIA WMSC with a Court of law.

That would have been an absurd state of affairs by any standards, no matter what Singapore's laws are.

This is criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating, mischief, attempts to commit offences; as I see it.

I lived in Singapore for a year, you can get done for not flushing a public toilet. These guys do not kid.

Crimes were committed in Singapore's jurisdiction, in which the worst case scenario would have been death and serious injury.

WMSC looks after rules and such, not criminal proceedings correct?

And aside from Symonds disclosing that in the secret meeting of four - including "witness x" rumored to be Alonso - it was Piquet that raised the idea.

And Piquet is given immunity? So you support that.

Well all I have noticed from people like yourself here is never mind, lets just get Flavio.

Next time there is a punishment goven out do not criticize the FIA because out of all of this, it is the issue that has had the least consideration.

And just like the disgraceful $100 million fine levied at Mclaren it shows what the FIA is - not justice, but a power.

This issue is not over. Maybe on appeal this unjust decision will be reversed and Flavio is going to take this to court.

And those that are cheering this - where is your outrage against the Ferrari cheating in collusion with the FIA or the lack of punishment that Hamilton received for lying, not once but twice before the FIA?

And how can you cheer this regardless? Do you hate formula 1 or perhaps you are just envious of a man that lives a lifetsyle you can just dream of?

That Briatore's 20 years in this sport counted for nothing and the cowardice of his fellow team principles to voice support against a ban is not surprising because moral courage is not something evident these days.

And those that view this in a childlike simplistic way [criticizing the punishment is the same as supporting whatever occurred at Marina Bay in 2008] - how can you cheer, not perhaps agree, but CHEER this about Flavio? Disgrace.

As for Sorrell - he is someone that has always resented Bernie going back quite a while. Sorrell is forgetable however, because f1 was created and is where it is today not because of a man like him, but someone like Bernie.

And to see people here with such a resentment for those that manage our beloved sport is appalling and unfathomable.

I find it utterly distasteful.

If I had to choose between those that are attacking or Flavio and Bernie, I would stand without equivocation with Briatore and Ecclestone. Their virtuous creations far outway any vices.

Shoeless Joe Jackson has been banned from baseball for 90 years for helping fix the 1919 World Series on orders of the commissioner of baseball, but remains eligible for reinstatement. 90 years sounds like a nice waiting period for Flavio for his stunt.
