The FIA has effectively handed Briatore a lifetime ban from motor sport, as well as determining he should not manage any drivers. The flamboyant Italian currently looks after the interests of four F1 drivers and, ironically, those of Piquet himself.
Briatore had insisted that no wrongdoing occurred during the race, held on September 28 last year, but the WMSC decided he was "complicit", also ruling that he continued "to deny his participation in the breach despite all the evidence".

Symonds was given a more lenient sentence after accepting his part in the conspiracy, as well as communicating his "eternal regret and shame" to the 26 members of the council.

According to the FIA, Renault made a number of points in mitigation, not least the acceptance "at the earliest practicable opportunity" that it "committed the offences with which it was charged and co-operated fully with the FIA's investigation".

It confirmed "Mr Briatore and Mr Symonds were involved in the conspiracy and ensured that they left the team", that Renault apologised "unreservedly" to the FIA and were also committed to paying the costs incurred by the FIA in its investigation.

Describing the action taken against Briatore, the FIA noted that it "does not intend to sanction any international event, championship, cup, trophy, challenge or series involving Mr Briatore in any capacity whatsoever, or grant any license to any team or other entity engaging Mr Briatore in any capacity whatsoever.

"It also hereby instructs all officials present at FIA-sanctioned events not to permit Mr Briatore access to any areas under the FIA's jurisdiction.

"Furthermore, it does not intend to renew any Superlicence granted to any driver who is associated (through a management contract or otherwise) with Mr Briatore, or any entity or individual associated with Mr Briatore."

As well as having management contracts with Alonso, Heikki Kovalainen, Mark Webber, Romain Grosjean and Piquet Jnr, Briatore also has an involvement with the GP2 feeder series.


Hung out to dry.
Up to the Football League now.


That's where we stand... no matter who's done what in the past, or what anybody thinks about it, etc..
It's not in his hands anymore.

Seriously better hope the Mittals and Eccelstone step up; Flab won't have the money to 'honour' (funny use of the word(!)) those long contracts Paladini dished out...

Ferrari and Michael Schumacher have cheated for years on the TV screen, why have they never been done for cheating?

The race where Rubens Barrichello had to slow down for half a lap to let Schumacher pass was classed as cheating and people must have lost big time money!

If that's not race fixing than what is it?

Scapegoat?

[haqpr1963]

Can't say I really care much about anything that happens in F1 really, but I do seem to remember Schumacher driving Damon Hill off the track to ensure he and not Damon won the world title. Was there not also similar danger of untold damage to drivers, spectators, track and stewards?

And which team was Schumacher driving for and who was team principal? :devil:

[MYU]

Was it Mark Hughes decision for what happened last week on the pitch?

Let's talk about cheating and some sponsors.

The banks are the biggest cheats out there robbing us point blank with fines, directly cheating us.

They take our money by issuing fines but that's ok, we still bank with them.

I went less then a pound overdrawn with Abbey a few years ago, I was fined and charged £60 and I still bank with them.

Slightly different, much as I hate them, sadly they are not breaking any rules..

I think you find there are, so many were getting their money back from banks but now it's been taking to court so it's on hold, that's what I was told when I tried to make a claim.

Agree - that's no better than loan sharks!
