1. long arm doesn’t apply. FIA rulings are subject to French Law, not UK’s let alone the colonies.

2. FIA don’t stablish rules just sport regulations let alone try to impose them as law in third countries.

3. I agree with you on that. Natural law dictates no man can be trialed twice on the same crime, specialy after the common law has been ammended to find him guilty/punish him after a mistrial.

I have MRCVS after my name and if somebody ever accuses me of anything they better do it in front of a proper tribunal, not a mickey mouse court having no jurisdiction over me.

Schumacher was a license holder when he deliberately crashed in Monaco 2006. How come the FIA didn’t exercise its ability to ban him?

I’d rather not see Flav back but for the sport to hold water there at least has to be the PERCEPTION of fairness. If the FIA is going to put itself up as the arbiter of justice then it needs to be more transparent and uphold the PERCEPTION of fairness a little better.

Fans will get cynical, see the real motives (or motives they make up for themselves) and tune out.

We already put up with fake qualifying (fuel loads), double diffusers, artificial engine caps, lack of passing, good drivers in bad cars and bad drivers in good ones. If the FIA continues to intervene partial to certain parties the way it has in the past, fans will tune out.

Thanks again all. Glad to help shine a dim light on all this murk! Martin, check my post on Max’s latest comments. I think that covers what you’re asking about.
