    That is disgusting, someone should investigate this french court and its relations to the french company Renault. If I was F1 I would let everyone know exactly who reinstated them, as no other country took up this cause except a french court trying to back a french company.

    Hmm... brilliant strategist, butthole of a manager. In the end I suppose it's one of those quirks of racing. You never think of those things which you thought noone would ever do.

    Penalise him, and rewrite the rule book so that this will never happen again.

    Saw the news this-afternoon ... and disgusted. Cheating in a sport in which so much money is at steak, well just cheating in a sport, especially to this extent. He should have the lifetime ban sentence and never be welcome into any sport again.

    I'm sorry but when it comes down to something like this there shouldn't have even been hearings etc. he admitted it, there's no more to investigate and there should be no question about his punishment. And what the courts have said today is just plain stupid.

    Is it against the rules to crash on purpose? Or is it something which noone ever thought would happen, other than crashing/ramming into another car?

    I can't remember off the top of my head but I don't think there's a direct rule saying 'You can't deliberately crash into another car' but I'm pretty sure there's a rule which is a bit broader in terms of deliberately taking a course of action which could affect the outcome of the race. Sorry, not much help on that one though.

    Schumacher was doing stuff like this for years, lol!

    Crashing into opponents, parking his car in a chicane during qualifying etc.

    Was he banned? Or applauded as a "genius"?

    Yet, everyone forgets the time Montoya won a dry race on wet tyres....magic.

    I am OK with that... piquetinho is gay... why he did not report the situation when happened but only after one year when he was kiked off the car as totaly unable to drive a f1 car?... for me there can be some truth in this story but mostly was constructed by nazzi fetish mosley who probably play sexual games with gay pichuetinio....

    In racing, if you aren't cheating at least a little bit, you aren't trying hard enough. I know in stock car racing especially that if you aren't at least bending a rule here and there then you are running in the back, I would assume it's the same in F1.

    Eventhough I don't like what Flavio did but I gladly accept this decision since this proves that Max Mosley was abusing his power.

    The only reason the ban was lifted is because the ban would have prevented him from getting a source of income. So it was against his human rights.

    Well thats how i read into it, but he shouldnt be allowed to go back into motorsport. Who would hire him anyway?
