RE: FIA Breaks Own Rules For Viewer Ratings - Off To Court
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
They have 4 days to lodge an appeal which they have already done. Yes the Championship can be taken away still so nothing is final as yet. The Court of Arbitration for Sports is the final deciding factor for Mercedes which if it goes this far will not be good for the FIA or Verstappen and Red Bull. When something is so blatantly wrong this needs to be sorted out. The FIA have breached their own regulations and could lose teams now because of this. What is stopping them from screwing someone else over next year so this is what is of more concern to all teams. There is no way the FIA are walking off with this decision as it stands as Mercedes will fight on principle.

Wow. When you put it like that, it really doesn't make for easy reading (not that it did anyway!) I don't know enough about The Court of Arbitration for Sports or the power that they hold to understand if they have the power to change a sports' result or just to issue a fine...?
The cynic in me says that they'll just increase the prize money. More viewers, more sponsorship, more money, bigger prizes...
You've already said it - it's such a shame this is the focus of attention. I'm looking forward to talking about the 2022 changes and how we should see much closer action without "the dirty air".
