		<description>@ John Heath - It is contradictory to say that we need real drama on the race track and blast the most successful driver in the history of the sport based on a couple dramatic past (on-track) incidents.</description>

		<description>I do not think he wants to get back into running a team. He will be content to manage his drivers and posture on the grid and all the party&#039;s similar to Nicholas Todt. However the FIA and J Todt particularly needs to stamp on this now and accept the decision for what it is and move on, before it ruins what should be a fantastic season in F1. If they allow Moseley to change the rules to suit his personal case, they will be a laughing stock and lose all respect from both the teams and the public. Of course Moseley just cannot take a defeat in court and by the very manner of his statements you can see his twisted past!</description>

		<description>No one is saying that what occurred was not wrong on many levels.

I am just pointing out that a. because the matter was not heard in a &#039;real&#039; court and subject to due diligence, it was never conclusively proven who suggested what, and who ordered whom to do what. It may be &lt;strong&gt;your&lt;/strong&gt; opinion that Flav &#039;ordered&#039; Piquet to crash, but that is all it is. Your opinion. The facts of the matter have never been established, so your comment is wrong to assert sole blame, when none has been proven.

and b. the punishment handed out to Flav was flawed because it was the result of a vendetta from S&amp;Max against Flav. I see the French Courts agree with me on that score. As I said earlier, justice should be transparent and not to wielded about by someone harbouring a vendetta. So S&amp;Max was the judge and jury - sound fair and impartial to you? Furthermore, as the French Court points out, the FIA does not have the power to impose such sanctions.

As stated earlier, I am glad that the ban has been rescinded because *legally* it was unjust, and invalid. I have never said that Flav does not deserve some form of sanction for his actions (although IMO Piquet certainly deserves all Flav gets and more).</description>

		<description>Ah but Maciek, there is no proof that Briatore ordered anyone to do anything. That was my point.</description>
