if the courts overturned Flav/Pat’s “convictions” as not valid, couldn’t they nullify Piquet’s immunity too? If one part of the case was null, why not the other?

Yea but what criteria or terms of reference would they apply to the investigation into a person’s character to determine whether they issue a licence or not?

Would it be merely a subjective decision based on whoever the FIA nominates for the task? or would they be pulling police records, credit checks, company directorships, etc, etc?

Has the potential for the FIA to get a reputation for fascist practices with Big Brother overtones.

A sensitive subject in some quarters…

Just because you are turning in someone else does not absolve you from your own actions. Your reasoning suggests you are in favour of the “blame someone else for your own actions” defence, you mention criminal informants but most of them are minor criminals. Piquet on the other hand did something that was deemed bad enough to give another person a lifetime ban.

With your train of thought as you put it, a person could commit any crime and blame in on pressure from someone else, as long as you come forward first and say the other guy made you do it nothing will happen to you? Now that is hilarious.

Correct. Klum was pregnant by Briatore before she even meet Seal.

The law is the law, without it it’d be a worse place for us all.
Max Molsey thought as the FIA President he could make his own law, he was wrong he can’t as the French court has deemed.
Mosley should be brought to the FIA and charged with bringing the FIA into disrepute.

Could it have been ‘Alonso’?

The internet amateur analysts favour Alan Permane, particularly as Bob Bell was made the acting boss following Briatore’s departure.

The size of the McLaren fine was justified in terms of making it hurt financially. It was also influenced by McLaren initially stating it had conducted a thorough investigation, and was then shown not to have done so. With Renault-Singapore, it was a first offence.
