The Solbergs is interviewed regarding the issue (check out Petters look in the picture...):

http://www.dagbladet.no/sport/2008/05/08/534761.html

Brief translation:

Petter Solberg thinks the case in embarrasing for the FIA.

"This is simply too stupid, we get up at 4-5 AM, and finishes around 10 PM. We need rest, its the driving that matters. I think they (Citroen) has other details to focus on other than Loebs appearance."

Petter has following proposal for FIA:

"Maybe you should prioritize rally some more, show more passion for our sport and not only F1. If they do, I'll promise to get Seb to shave!"

He also says that he won't shave before next rally.

This Thatti guy - I haven`t really heard of him ever before, actually - must be getting the 2nd price for idiocy in this years "Moron of the year Awards". The first price will of course be reserved for Mr. Mosley.

But are we surprised. Nope...

Here is a pic of Mr Thatti in all his glamourness...looks a bit unshaved to me :dozey:

Dont pay so much attention to a guy who wear a pink tie.

Dont think most of the French female population (and some of the male too) would prefer to sleep with him instead of Seb. Perhaps his point is made out of jealously!

I have to say it does show how out of touch the FIA are with the sport if this was meant to be a constructive point. Rather I think it was a political move to ensure that African events are favoured when it comes to the awarding of championship events. As for Chandler if he seriously entertained this viewpoint when the sport is in it's current state with very few if any true characters then I'm afraid we are doomed...

What the... that's just... I mean... ack! Honestly... ugh.

Unbelievable. This is a completely new level of utter stupidity. Insult to real men? I'm afraid to think what his idea of a real man is...

Again, wow!

Wow...I hope this Thatti guy gets punched for saying that.

Just...wow.


I hope Loeb wins his next championship sporting a huge beard, dyed in the French Tri-colour.

This is really preposterous.

I don't usually advocate the use of violence in this way but I'll make an exception for this idiot :p
