What alarmed me most about Hamilton's penalty in Magny-Bores was the fact that the FIA would not even let the McLaren team see the "evidence" that Hamilton cut the chicane. I mean WHY? It's like when once in a Simpsons episode Homer got a scratch card and only 2 of the liberty bells matched and he tried to con Apu by covering up the red cherry.

It's starting to look like the FIA was out to get Hamilton, rather than it being incompetence. Bernie was saying that "Max would be back" at this race. Perhaps Mosley blames the UK press for some of his problems, and was getting some revenge.

That's why we need someone like Todt in charge.

Todt!!! That Ferrari slimeball!! You MUST be joking!! He's probably the guy who whips max's Arse when he can't get hold of his call girls!!

I find that assumption alittle harsh but to each their own.

I just want somebody with a 'cleaner' history and less potential for bias than Jean Todt. To be honest, despite some of the current team principals being potentially excellent choices for the role, the fact that they are tied to teams still competing within the sport should make them an automatic 'no' for such a role.

How much of the need for a 'cleaner' history for Todt, and the "less potential for bias" is opinion, and how much is fact? Decisions concerning who should run the FIA should be down to cold hard facts, not conspiracy theories.

Having only stepped down from being team principal one year ago, I'd say that gives him a lot of potential for bias. His team, even if he moved well away from it, would still be competing in Formula 1, whereas the teams of those that I mentioned have been gone for a while now. The fact that the speculation of these things is present is more than a worry and should not be so easily ignored. There's generally a reason for suspicion.

I've changed my opinion on this. From what I see there is a major clash between the FIA and McLaren. It is up to the FIA to remain totally professional which they aren't currently...

Good conclusion to arrive at!

Yep..if that toad got in the FIA Mclaren's days would be numbered.

There's no doubting McLaren brought on this penalty on themselves, regardless of whether not telling the full story was justified or not and whether the FIA will overreact.
