Flavio seeking minimum of 1m€ for damage to reputation

I'm conflicted...

Flavio damaged Flavio's reputation. MaXXX Mutley just shine a spotlight on it...

Yet, I believe everything Flavio says about MaXXX to be true...

I always liked Flavio... I also believe there should be consequences for what the Renault Team did...

I am certain if RD had done this, RD and the entire McLaren team would have been tossed...

I am equally certain that if Ferrari had done this, it wouldn't have been proven...

 

It has never been said who tried to discredit Max Mosley by setting him up with prostitutes for SM sessions recorded on video, and subsequently giving the evidences to the media in an attempt to discredit him and remove him from the presidency of the FIA.

For a long time, I suspected Bernie, as this would be his sort of thing.

But the successive eliminations of Ron Dennis and Flavio Briatore from the F1 scene within a matter of months, may indicate that Mosley found the culprits in that plot and managed to oust them out.


Welcome to the piranha club !!

 

The whole problem stems from Cretin Mosley and his kangaroo FIA court system, sham legal proceedings.

FIA/MaXXX justice system:
The accused head is placed on a chopping block with an
axe aimed at it. If the axe bounces off, the accused is guilty and
is burnt at the stake.

Everything Mosley has anything to do with is bent, N tech taking the FIA to court for the new team procedure, corrupt.

Todt has his hands full to gain back any crediability to the FIA it stinks, and Mosley is to blame, the election everything a farce.

 

Yes I know how you feel with those emails I feel a mug, end of the day all those FIA members that supported Mosley are out for there stinking selves, Ari I believe would have swept the decks and that's probably what stopped him getting the job/votes.

As Regards N Technology from a Blog: The case against the FIA in the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris had been officially decided appear to be wide of the mark. The decision was delayed until Friday and there is no official judgement yet, although it is believed that the leaks to the media reflect the decision that has been made. The case was heard in October and the judges have had a month to think about the decision and write the official judgement. N Technology was challenging the FIA claiming that there were irregularities in the process. There have long been rumours that anyone who wanted anything other than a Cosworth engine were rejected – and the teams chosen are all using Cosworths

Who would have thought it leaks from the FIA..to the media that a decision had been made not in favour of N tech as was reported

 

Surely in this case, Briatore Vs the FIA, all the FIA have to do is:

A) Prove that Briatore was in on the plot from the start, to deliberately crash the car at Singapore to artificially affect the natural outcome of the race.
(both Piquet and Symonds confirmed this in their testimonies to the FIA).


B) Prove that when given the opportunity to admit his invovlement in this incident, Briatore continued to deny it, despite testimony to the contrary which resulted in an accusation of lying to the FIA.
(again supported by Piquet and Symonds testimonies plus testimony from an undisclosed third party).


C) Show any court the FIA rules and regulations that give them the right to punish offenders as they deem fit, up to and including permanent exclussion from the sport.
(I believe bringing the sport into disreput cover this on it's own).

D) Then, if need be, show Briatore to be untrustworthy based on putting pressure on Piquet to go through with the crash plan, in order to get a contract for the following season (which in itself is surely tantamount to blackmail?).
(Again, this would rely on testimony from Piquet).


I'm no legal expert by any means but this looks like a very weak case by Briatore, made even weaker by the fact that Renault decided to drop its lawsuit and side with the FIA when it was in receipt of of all the evidence involved in the case.

At the end of the day, I just can't see Briatore winning this one.

 

hope flav wins. he's the man

 

I hope Flav prevails as well. If only to P' off Max.

 

Bernie might have know how to hire a German Dominatrix, but I don't think he would. Ron Dennis would not have a clue how to go about it, but likely would have thought of the idea. Flav would have no problem finding the girls and might have already had their #'s in is cell. I suspect it was Ronzo's idea with Flav's implementation.

 

I'm still trying to figure out what FOTA thought they were getting in return for dropping the break-away series.

A chance for the manufacturers to individually drop out of a totally discredited F1 series, one by one?

 

Good question. The only answer I come up with is that they were bluffing about the split and
were really looking for something other than what they stated publicly.
Who knows, money might have had something to do with it

 

Unfortunately, the bastard, Max, undoubtedly has better legal rep.

 

With all his newly found spare time maybe he'll represent himself

 

By the time Ron would have finished asking, the German Dominatrix would have forgotten what on earth he was talking about and the whole conversation would have to start again!.

 

I love the irony of Flav leaking his case only for the FIA to respond :

‘The FIA condemns the selective leaking of extracts from Mr. Briatore’s pleadings to the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris.

‘The FIA rejects the allegations made in these leaks and confirms that the decision to impose a sanction against Mr. Briatore was made by an overwhelming majority of the attending World Motor Sport Council members.

‘In respect for the authority of the French Court, it would be entirely inappropriate for the FIA to comment further on this matter in advance of the hearing.’

For the last decade anything and everything seems to have been leaked by them !
