Ok, Mosley caused Briatore to be able to wriggle, but would venues be able to ban Flabbyold from showing his?

Forget appeals to French courts. I'm pretty certain the FIA statutes don't mention double jeopardy. Just hold a new set of hearings into the Singapore mess, don't make the same mistakes that were made last time, find him guilty again and ban him for a decade. After 10 years out of the sport, no-one is going to want to know him anyway, so it's quite long enough. Also, it may be long enough to prevent my worst nightmare - Briatore taking over from Bernie.

I don't mind him in the stand, just not in the paddock. F1 is not a sport about the fans, and it will never be, so if Flavio means money, he'll be in. It's that simple. We can't do anything to have him banned.

If all the team bosses, manufactures etc banded together maybe this could bring about enough force to keep Flabby out of F1?

"It's not over 'til the fat lady sings", and I can't hear her.

This isn't over by a long chalk, and I think we are unlikely to see Flabbyo back after being retried.

Hmmm...or should that be "refried"? lol
