I intentionally crashed into another car when I was 14. I shattered my hand on my roll bar (stupid mistake) and was banned for 10 years. Cost me my formula career.
Hugh Robertson, the Conservative Shadow Sports Minister, called for the Football League to remove Briatore, telling the Times: ''Of course Mr Briatore is not fit to run a football club. It is difficult to see how anyone convicted of one of the worst cases of cheating on record in one sport could possibly be considered fit and proper in another."

Unless there's something we don't know about, Lewis Hamilton escaping any noticeable penalty after lie-gate must be one of the biggest let-offs ever.
He got disqualifyed from Oz GP.....
The president of the United Arab Emirates' Automobile Club (ATCUAE), Mohammed Ben Sulayem, has said that that the result of Monday's WMSC hearing had been agreed beforehand.
Furthermore, Ben Sulayem indicates that issues other than the case in hand were taken into consideration when reaching a decision.
"We did our negotiations before and everybody is happy with the result," he told a local newspaper, according to the Guardian. "The verdict is fair and everyone is a winner.
"I had to be loyal to my country as well as motor sport," he continued, referring to the fact that his country is on the verge of hosting its first ever round of the Formula One World Championship, the 2009 season finale in Abu Dhabi. "Protecting the investments Abu Dhabi has made into Formula One is my duty; it is a big show and it needs teams.
"We all want to see Renault (in F1)," he added. "This is the result everyone wanted."
It should be noted that Ben Sulayem, a champion rally driver who famously crashed a Renault F1 car during a 'drag race' with Romain Grosjean (Ford GT40) at the Dubai Autodrome in April this year - though not deliberately - was recently named as Vice President of the FIA for Sport in (presidency hopeful) Jean Todt's candidacy team.
Our picture shows Ben Sulayem at the Renault event in Dubai in April. Despite widespread speculation the gesture he is making is not thought to relate in any way to the size of the punishment the French team might expect should 'Crashgate' ever come to light.

OK, but then I just change my statement to "Lewis Hamilton receiving only a very minor penalty must be one of the biggest let-offs ever".
Lewis's actions only detrimantly affected Trulli and the FIA.

I pretty much agree with the rest of your post, but this isn't true. It detrimentally affected the FIA, Trulli, Toyota and indeed every other team and driver as it would have given Lewis and McLaren one point (and podium) more than they would otherwise have had, and as we all know a single point can make all the difference somewhere along the line.

hmm but technicaly he did deserve 3rd since Truli drove off.
The mistake was lying about giving it back...

Correct. However, even if he had told the truth, he gave the position back. The point is, it had (or would have had) an effect on everyone else.
