Max Mosley angry

Max Mosley is not upset by the fact that the Paris High Court annulled the sanction imposed by the FIA ​​last September on the executives of the Renault team F1 Team, Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds.

On September 21, the World Council banned Flavio Briatore for life from any activity relating to motorsport. Pat Symonds inherited the same sanction, but for five years. The two men were found guilty of organizing the intentional accident of Nelson Piquet Jr at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. An accident which caused the safety car to come out and favored the race. Fernando Alonso, his teammate, who then won.

« If we cannot sanction someone for what Briatore and Symonds did, then the entire foundations of the FIA ​​must be called into question., the former FIA president told the Times. This matter is at the heart of questions of security, fairness and all the fundamentals of our activity. »

« It would be the end of all credibility in Formula 1 because you can't imagine a worse example of cheating than what happened in Singapore. Not only was it dishonest in terms of cheating, but lives were put in danger. »

In addition, the former president of the FIA ​​believes that severity must be advocated in this type of situation. “ The idea that we can say ?ok, no problems? is unthinkable! »

With the FIA ​​stripped of the sanction handed down against Briatore and Symonds, Mosley believes the regulations can be adapted to allow the FIA ​​to act legally. “ This could be done very quickly: giving the FIA ​​the power to exclude from any activity in motorsport a person who has acted in violation of the fundamental rules of the sport, or who has done something dangerous. »
