...well, I guess perhaps not admitted, but they're not disputing it and Briatore and Symonds have been booted. Feel a bit bad for Symonds really - doesn't seem like the kind of thing he'd have been involved in.

Oh christ almighty...
Just what F1 needs. Not.
Credibility shot to pieces - if it wasn't already.

All those concerned won't ever work in Motorsport again either, I'd have thought.

Cheers, Hedge

thats really out of order. How dangerous is it to crash an F1 car????????????????
they should be banned for at least a year for endangering the life of their driver.
Disgusting.
I'm cancelling my R26R order

Feel sad for Pat Symonds, always seemed like a pretty straight guy. Somehow find it hard to be sympathetic for Briatore. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he was given the boot (but not as much as Piquet Jnr I suspect).

Looks like a slow corner that he dumped it on, but still a crazy plan to risk a driver (and anyone else out there) like that.

I guess they expected him to keep his mouth shut, too.

There seemed to be something in Briatore's eyes when the tv crew had a camera in his face and he announced that he is suing............. He looked a little worried

Stupid man

Feel sorry for PS too

Another manifestation of greed!

They should drop the word SPORT from all that involve money as it's a bloody sham. Give it up to all the cheating greedy bast*rds.

I actually think John's anti-capitalosm tireades are all a big bluff card (Frank Muir, anyone?)

I reckon he sits as a non-Exec on around 20 boards, working around 20 hours a month, claiming for about 200 hours, as well as stiffing each company for his 1st class exes. Lunches at his club etc, all that ol jazz

Honest!

GOOD NEWS, Lotus is back in F!, hopefully though not with that dreadful Lamborghini engine they used in 1989 i think!
