Hmm, indeed. I couldn't help wondering the other day how Ari would've handled this if he'd got in (although that was obviously never going to happen), I suspect that the Bahrain decision certainly wouldn't have been quite as ridiculous. Although I'm clearly biased as am a big fan of Vatanen and just find Todt funny to look at :D

Thats a poor understanding of the term "racial/racist". You cannot be racial / racist towards your own race. Racism is defined as equally hating other races other than your own.

To look at banning Hammy for being a highly strung youngster with a big mouth is just plain old pathetic :down:

Well !! Will we see some racing in Canada this weekend or a procession, after you sir !
Lets hope Lewis is not too scared of having a GO and RACING,cos thats what we want to see.AND Coulthard and Brundle,dont air you views on whether you think drivers are guilty or not,let the STEWARDS decide please !!

Love this: "I did not advertise it. It's between him and the FIA... I could have leaked the letter..."

So why mention it now, and why mention it could have gone to the FIA court and assume that would have resulted in a 6 race ban :confused:

Their job title is commentator - they are employed as they have professional knowledge, and can offer to the viewing public their take on the racing. I'd rather the Stewards did not decide, as most of the time they f*ck it up.

What's wrong with a forthright opinion? Contemplation and what actually happened are two completely separate things.

BBC Sport - F1 - Formula 1 gossip and rumours from international media

And Todt told the Times: "I could have asked the judicial court to address the problem..."

Banning him would've just proved that what Lewis said was actually true.

Exactly !!
And why did Todt,let it out,and surely he would have not been able to ban Lewis by himself

Interesing. Perhaps it could serve some good? A race ban i mean.

How exactly? The only person I can see that being good for is Sebastien Vettel.
