Renault ... Todt ... French ... French Automobile Association vote ... lol. And, as we know, Max is doing anything to support Jean. Spygate was engineered to peanilize McLaren $100 million because there were allegations that two company employees colluded to exchange technical info. At the time Max was on record as saying that the employer is responsible for the employee's action. Apparently no so anymore. Who says F1 ain't corrupt. Well put Al.

In your list of gates you forgot Max's sexgate or whippinggate, presumably because you didn't want to bite the hand that feeds you. I myself was a F1 fanatic ... literally ... when F1 was a sport. My heart would race when the lights would go out at each GP. Today F1 is driven by a bunch of money sucking egoists - each bent on sticking it to the other in a wierdly public power war, and in a variety of perverted ways. The supposed leaders (FIA) are the prime culprits ... they play the sick power game professionally .... crafting wierd rules and regulations, then change their interpretation depending on the outcome they want. I wouldn't spend a cent on the sport anymore. I even cancelled my annual membership with the team I supported for 32 years precisely because I don't believe in the sport anymore. No Mr Podmore, F1 is intrinsically rotten. You may be right about corruption and scandals being present in almost every sport, but certainly F1 wins the honors of being the most corrupt of them all. Unlike you, F1 does not feed me, so I can express my opinion honestly and openly without the fear of Max coming to whip me!!!

Just like in the world of music it becomes fashionable to bash and criticise certain artists. You find generally in life that many people, journalists included, are like sheep and will blinding follow a common perception without actually questioning it. It's the done thing to have a dig at Formula One. Top article, by the way Sadly it is quite fashionable to bash and criticise Formula One.
