Verdict was inevitable. Unfortunately the FIA overstepped their jurisdiction with the punishment. I doubt this means we will see Briatore back in the F1 paddock any time soon, though. |

The life ban has been lifted but will any one will employ him again in F1 - I think not but of course he is still a manger so I see a lot of new rules regarding what you can and can not do being review etc Also could the FIA go to athletes/sport court of arbitration to give a final ruling - I forgot the name and google not got the answer Mark |

Right decision given the OTT ruling by the FIA... They can still ban him from FIA sanctioned areas but not from the GP itself... Briatore was after compensation as well (as much as 1 million)... did he get it...? |

Doesn't he spend that much on dinner? It's the correct decision though. The lifetime ban was overkill. |

The FIA never had the power to ban him from a GP.Only from FIA sanctioned areas. And now as guest of any team,he can enter FIA sactioned areas with guest pass from the the team inviting him. |

Personally, I don't think the ban on him at events was that OTT. He was in charge of a team who conspired to get their driver to deliberately crash during a GP, although somehow it was not possible to prove that he directly sanctioned it. IMHO this is a far worse offence than Liegate, Spygate or Monaco-Parking-gate. The team planned a deliberate accident during a race. Admittedly it was at probably the slowest part of the track and to say that lives were at risk is probably pushing it. However, freak accidents do occur, and while NPJ could have had the same crash 1000 times without anyone being hurt, there's no guarantee that there wasn't a minute chance that something could have gone badly wrong. A car being catapulted over his cockpit in the kerfuffle could still have broken his neck, for example, no matter how unlikely the event. The ban on him managing drivers was probably unfair, although he could still do this without being at the track. Overall, I don't think F1 has been worse off without him. |

He could not manage any drivers.The FIA ruled that any driver having management contracts with him would not be granted a superlicence. Any any event applying for FIA sanctioned meetings which employed himm in any capacity would be refused the sanction. |

WMSC ruling. As regards Mr. Briatore, the World Motor Sport Council declares that, for an unlimited period, the FIA 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 FIAs 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. In determining that such instructions should be applicable for an unlimited period, the World Motor Sport Council has had regard not only to the severity of the breach in which Mr. Briatore was complicit but also to his actions in continuing to deny his participation in the breach despite all the evidence. http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/press...msc_210909.aspx |

hard to defend the ruling as anything other than a vendetta really... As I said the decision today was the right one, but for his role in the affair he should not be welcomed back readily... I can't see him returning in a team role for a long time if at all... Piquet Jr should also be considered persona non grata, despite his lack of a ban. |
