Yes, he will sue. And according to the legal beagles I know, he will win. The FIA have exerted their powers beyond their scope and will be proven to be a sporting body and not a legal body. Their scope is via contract, and no contract exists between team principals (even those without principle) and individual management agreements. |

No he won't. And don't call me Sue.

![]() I agree with Flood though. Flavio is likely to win if he does pursue legal action. |

Although this is small potatoes; assuming he is innocent I want Flavio to make good on his threat to sue the Piquets. Then and only then will I believe he is as innocent as he maintains. |

I seriously doubt he is as innocent as he contends. However the WMSC failed, by their own admission, to prove he was guilty - yet they hit him with a lifetime ban nonetheless. That is disproportionate and wrong. |
