well, if the boss sees nothing wrong in trying to get away with what he's trying to get away with, then a racing driver driving quickly off-piste clearly isn't on the FIA's scope.

Loads of drivers have done it. So what?

It should be up to the local legal system, not F1.

What would you like them to do?

One time, Stirling Moss was pulled over for speeding, and the cop walked up to his door and said "Who the heck do you think you are, Stirling Moss?" To which Moss simply handed the cop his drivers' license.

Nearly all of us forum members and it wouldnt surprise me if most F1 drivers probably have or will be convicted of the offence at some time in our/their lives. While it obviously isnt role model material, I think your suggestion that a speeding conviction has brought the sport of F1 into desrepute... a tad silly.. especially after the week we've had.

You suggested Lewis tried to ram Alonso on the other thread.. and now this?

Well, in terms of who actually brought the sport into disrespute, I agree Hamiltons case is worse considering there can be a direct connection to the sport of autoracing when a race car driver breaks the law speeding then compared to an official being caught doing um... you know... what Max does when he thinks no-one is watching... :

Hamilton is also a role model... and well, don't think Mosley has the power to affect any impressionable minds anymore...

And as a brought the "worst case scenario" in another thread regarding Hamilton and driving... Worst thing that could happen to MM for his activities... the spread of stds, more kids (wait that could be a very bad thing : ) And the Worst that could have happened with Hamilton speeding on public roads? DEAD PEOPLE...

"Disrepute" is not a legal concept.

Lewis has not defamed, slandered or caused libel against the FIA and would therefore have no charge to answer to. There aren't any conditions spelled out within the sporting regulations which support your claim either.

At any rate you yourself posted this:

British Formula One star Lewis Hamilton has had his driving licence suspended for a month after being caught speeding on a French motorway.

Which means that the French courts have dealt with this, and since France is a signatory to the European Convention of Human Rights, the right against double jeopardy exists in France.

Why? Because no case exists.
