The World Motor Sport Council considers that offences of this severity merit permanent disqualification from the FIA Formula One World Championship. However, having regard to the points in mitigation mentioned above and in particular the steps taken by Renault F1 to identify and address the failings within its team and condemn the actions of the individuals involved, the WMSC has decided to suspend Renault F1's disqualification until the end of the 2011 season. The World Motor Sport Council will only activate this disqualification if Renault F1 is found guilty of a comparable breach during that time.

my question is....what exactly does a "found guilty of a comparable breach during that time" constitute?

Ah, no. It won't 'renew' the licence of any driver associated with him. So those drivers are ok for this season.

You can't have a comparable breach to an unparalleled one I suppose?

They will be terminated by 'Force Majeure' - as Ioan alluded to earlier, if the terms of their contract stop them from being able to work, the contract will be deemed null and void.

Now, at the moment, all FFBB contracted pilots are not allowed near an FIA sanctioned event, so they cannot work......

Found guilty of race fixing again.......

Also, I wonder if Flav will be kick out of QPR for breaching 'fit and proper' businessman test?

Aren't superlicences renewed annually? That gives them until either the turn of the year or the start of next season (I forget which) to get out.

Not that I expect they'll delay in any way, but still.

[And, about the link I posted in the other (now locked) thread - I *know* the writer was obviously not an F1 fan, and got mixed up on several points. I posted it because he was so obviously an outsider who had decided F1 was a mud pit, not in spite of it. This sort of thing does real damage to F1's reputation, and covering it up for a bit only makes it worse when it eventually does come out.]

So, all his drivers he manages are not allowed in F1.......

Max is a revenge dish best served colder than a dominatix' heart! ;)

The BBC says this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/moto.../8266090.stm):

"The Italian has been banned indefinitely from attending any FIA events. A route back into F1 was made more difficult for Briatore as the FIA declared it would not grant a license to any team he was involved with or renew a Superlicence granted to any driver associated with him."

Wow - he loses his agency business too?

So - RenaultF1 - suspended sentence because upper mgmt took steps to deal with those who broke the rules.
Flav & Symmonds - bans for five years for Mr. Symmonds and indefinite for Mr. Briatore AND Flavio will be unable to manage any team or driver.

I think that is a fair punishment.

One current F1 star was reputedly offered a 15-year deal – with 50% of his income going to FFBB – when he was still in karts. He declined to take up the offer.

Briatore gets a f bomb from me
