IMO all this stuff spoils F1. It makes it less interesting to me than it has ever been.

It’s now coming across more than ever like a bunch of spoilt rich kids who if they can’t win by winning they try and win by being the biggest odious st.

One thing I've learned from the Horner thread is that SWolff must have led him on. Worn a short skirt or see-through blouse. He's entirely innocent, and even if he's not, we should move on as there's nothing to see here.

(Have I got that right? Have I missed anything?)
I think you missed out although why he would be interested because she is not a looker, she's a brazen hussy and a bike. Plus she must have planned it all.

Excellent Summary.

Excellent! Seen it before, but well worth the time to watch again.

Lost the 9-ball semi... oo-er missis!

Smart move to make a criminal complaint in France. The entire procedure, including the investigation process, will be judicially supervised: so totally out of the control of FIA. Can FIA refuse to co-operate? Open justice in bound!

Smart, or necessary because the FIA is French and headquartered in France?

My point was not forum shopping, more the procedure selection which takes control away from FIA.

Yes, a criminal complaint will be investigated by some sort of police and prosecutors in France, as opposed to being an internal procedure which has already produced enough whitewash to stock B&Q for a week.

Whatever the logistical issues, I expect that Bernie has already sold the TV rights...

yes DAS, the F-Duct, the mystery fuelling and bendy wings, the split brake pedal, even drivers being total bds to each other were the kind of skulduggery I cold tolerate or even admire because it was all about finding a way to win in fierce competition. All this power politics & petty nonsense is like watching The Tory Party Implodes: The Sport. I watch sport to get away from all that!

I don't think it's just F1 though, a lot of sports and entertainment seem to be being ensttified these days.

If you are watching F1 as a sport sadly you will be disappointed. It's all about the money and "entertainment". Plus of course the obligatory celeb line up!
