Boo, hiss, booooooo! (Sorry stuck in panto mode :D ).
Yes I think this was the expected outcome.

No surprises really. I don't suppose we'll see him back in F1 anytime soon though.
€15,000 compensation apparently. That'll buy a new pair of gold-plated slippers.
Seriously, what are the odds of him returning to F1 now? He's clearly a talented businessman, but is also tainted goods and you do have to wonder if sponsors would want to be associated with him.
Unlikely I would have thought. He hasn't been found innocent of the charge of race fixing. It's just that the penalty imposed by the FIA has been found to be illegal.Quote:

Who else could the FIA burn? Flav and Pat were out in the wind, everybody else and their brother had immunity. They should have burned the little rat who went to the FIA with the story. Everybody wants to make Flav out to be sooooooo evil and maybe he is, but if he hadn't have fired Rat jr. halfway through, this story would still be buried.

Flavio Briatore and his former Renault colleague Pat Symonds have won their court case against the FIA in Paris. The judge has ordered that the bans against both men must be lifted and has ordered the FIA to send out a message to all teams to that effect. It has 15 days in which to do so. The FIA has indicated that it may well appeal.
They cheated, they got caught. However the punishment was ridiculous and clearly handed down by Max.
I doubt Flavio will find employment and I think Symonds indicated no desire to return to F1 even if he was given one.
