If you intentionally cause a caution, that's a fine, point penalty, and other things. Does a driver, crew chief, or team owner become banned for life because they intentionally caused a caution in a similar situation? Most of the time stewards should catch it quickly and punish with a penalty as said above.
I would have simply thrown a €200,000 fine on Briatore , a 20-point penalty from final 2008 results for Renault in the Constructors Championship, take away the win and 10 points for Alonso, and mandatory community service.
I remember Dale Earnhardt Jnr in 2004 was given a $10,000 fine and 25 point penalty for a similar violation at Bristol two days after the race when NASCAR stewards found out he had intentionally spun his car to cause a caution. NASCAR used radio transmission to observe the violation. No penalty for Tony Eury.
Maybe we need some NASCAR officials to be hired by Formula One officials to listen to radio on each team to observe these no-no's.
:D Why not 91? See how arbitrary?Quote:

When did f1 become the sport of cry babies and ninnies :vader:
Maybe when Mika Hakkinen broke down like a baby at Monza and sat on his helmet and cried! What a goddamn pathetic sight that was!
NASCAR? That series is more corrupt than Chicago and New York City politics put together!Quote:

What utter stupidty!
And then there are the idiots like us, in our stupidity, because of Bernie's stupidity, that watch practice and qualifying and the grand prix and then come here to discuss it!
Such stupidity!!! Tch!
How blessed we are with the presence of one so esteemed in our humble forum.Quote:

It's ioan's fault. He's to blame, not me!! :eek:
First - FIA decided that Alonso is unaware of the situation. hy should he be penalized?Quote:

So - I would have removed Renault from the current WCC and gave Flavio, Pat and Nelsinho a two-years ban.

Correct and they could in the worst case ban someone from the FIA related activities.Quote:
