As you rightly understand, the convicted bank worker, teacher, lawyer, health worker etc would not be allowed back into a regulated profession where they're responsible for others' health, safety or prosperity. Yet here we have someone ordering racing drivers to crash on live circuits in order to defraud the sport and is welcomed back with open arms.
Indeed, they’d have been “struck off” for life.(I work as an IT professional, and am currently campaigning for a similar regulated system to be introduced for us following the Post Office debacle. I want to see the senior IT “professionals” involved there to be “struck off”, and find it impossible to get a job that isn’t answering the helpdesk phones or fixing the printers)
It’s one thing to be a poacher turned gamekeeper - but then to leave the gamekeepers and go back to being a poacher again?

It's not unprecedented in F1. A number of engineers have gone from teams to the governing body and back to teams in recent years.Nova Gyna said:
Indeed. I caught sight of Briatore slithering through the paddock, posing for selfies after the race too.
Lifetime bans, rules are rules, etc.
Yes, rules are rules and a French court ruled his ban was wrong and overturned it in 2010, only 2 years after the FIA banned him. And after a settlement both Briatore and Symonds could work in any FIA series from 2011 and F1 from 2013.Lifetime bans, rules are rules, etc.

"Considering that the judgment of 5 January 2010 concerned only the form and not the substance of the WMSC's decision of 21 September 2009, and that the undertakings and renunciation of all claims expressed by Mr Flavio Briatore and Mr Pat Symonds are in line with what the WMSC is seeking, the FIA President has considered that it is in the best interests of the FIA not to allow the perpetuation of these legal disputes, which have received a great deal of media coverage and which, regardless of the outcome, are very prejudicial to the image of the FIA and of motor sport, and thus to accept this settlement solution, thereby putting an end to this affair."
Pursuing justice is bad for the image, letting the culprits off is good for the image. The FIA logic...

Pursuing “justice” when an independent tribunal has already ruled that to be unlawful is indeed a bad look."Considering that the judgment of 5 January 2010 concerned only the form and not the substance of the WMSC's decision of 21 September 2009, and that the undertakings and renunciation of all claims expressed by Mr Flavio Briatore and Mr Pat Symonds are in line with what the WMSC is seeking, the FIA President has considered that it is in the best interests of the FIA not to allow the perpetuation of these legal disputes, which have received a great deal of media coverage and which, regardless of the outcome, are very prejudicial to the image of the FIA and of motor sport, and thus to accept this settlement solution, thereby putting an end to this affair."

Nothing wrong with the FIA’s logic there IMHO.

Surprised Nick Chester is also working for them. Alpine takeover imminent? They just need to rope-in Alan Permane from Haas to bring the band back together.
I don't want a takeover I want an 11th team and 22 drivers.tele_lover said:
