Briatore's ban overturned in French court

While the FiA/WMSC/Max's ban was extremely ham fisted, as far as I'm concerned, somebody like Flav has no place in F1, or any other Motorsport for that matter. Endangering life by way of an organised accident is the lowest of the low. Sod off and don't come back!!

I agree but that doesn't mean driver's his firm manages shouldn't get superlicences!

The rumour is that witness X is FA, he did know, should have been banned for a while.

Junior, well his driving skills didn´t impress me.

No, but it means he should be banned from ALL involvment with anything related to F1, including manageing drivers. And there is only one way, I know of, to enforce that rule.

I almost wrote that but also considered that punishment is often determined in 'normal' courts according to the defendant's behaviour, e.g. lesser sentence for pleading guilty.

Unfortunately some Mclaren fans have never understood simple concepts of law, hence statements that Ferrari should have been fined and so on.

Before Hungary, and the betrayal of Fernando by Ron & Lewis, Ron originally denied everything, saying his team had integrity.

No suprise, remember liegate last year.

MacLaren isn´t a clean team.

The 780 were not drawing but pages and were not Mclaren docs but Ferrari ones.

Renault had a few floppy discs with 3 McLaren systems on them.
