Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 2 Year suspended ban (read don't do it again!!) Seems that if you grovel enough and get the hatchet out, then you are OK. I guess Briatore was the target so with him gone, job done. Quote
Steven (WE51STE) Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Just think of the punishment they would have given Mclaren if they had done anything wrong. Minimum 50 million fine !!!!!!!! FIA (F**king Incompetent a*****s) Quote
thos Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Briatore gets lifetime ban from any FIA activity, that includes driver management - so Webber and Kovileinen need a new manager Symmonds gets 5yr ban. Piquet has immunity, but his career is effectively over anyway Alonso knew nothing ... Quote
RICHARD+PHILIP Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 reasonable I guess seeing as the only 2 who knew about the incident have been removed. Quote
Captain Colonial Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 No fine? What a surprise. All over fear of it becoming only two engine manufacturer (who also make road cars) series, M-B and Ferrari. Toyota will pull out, and if Renault did as well due to the same sort of fine McLaren had, you'd only have those two plus Cosworth, interest by other manufacturers would dwindle, and it might hurt F1 profits. Count on a secret deal that Renault stays in if they got no fine. Money > safety and rules yet again. Ridiculous and completely expected. Quote
RobC Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 is that all concure... although guilty parties have already run away... so ... kinda of understandable... Quote
bhouse Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Alonso knew nothing ... riiiight.... Quote
Fat Albert Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Renault (the parent company) will make an undisclosed contribution to the FIA road safety campaign, some blogs/tweets put this as high as $500m Piquet IS the victim in all this, he told the truth, no one else did until forced. He spoke to the FIA immediately after the race, they ignored him. He presented evidence (the telemetry) and they said it's not enough to open proceedings. Only when he made the allegations public did they institute an enquiry. And Briatore's public behaviour since the allegations entered the public domain have demonstrated exactly how much contempt he has for the law, his employees, his employers and the watching world Quote
Carl Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 QUOTE Just think of the punishment they would have given Mclaren if they had done anything wrong. Minimum 50 million fine !!!!!!!! I think the point that Mclaren denied it and said it was a rougue employee and then was proved wrong at a later hearing was their problem. Renault coughed and acted imediately. Any governing body won't ike being misled Quote
Scottish Bloke Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 total farce, cheating cost McLaren $50million, what's the difference Quote

Victim are you taking the proverbial He saw his future and a potentil for plenty of cash if he kept his seat, and decided to risk his life, fellow drivers lives and the marshals. he should be banned from ever competing in motorsport again Rant over Quote
