Pat Symonds' ban was also overturned.

However, the FIA may appeal, which would keep them both out until the final ruling.

Flav is the agent for Heikki Kovalainen and Mark Webber, at least, so he'd be able to resume those duties to start with. I'm sure he'd find a way into some other job before long.

haha wtf, so in the grand scheme of things, after planning to crash a car to help Alonso win, nobody got penalized at all.

McLaren should ask for their $100m back. :rofl:

Strange that a French court holds jurisdiction over the FIA somehow.

FIA is headquartered in Paris.

Huh, I guess I just assumed it was based in Italy for some reason.

Yeah, "for some reason" - wonder what that might be?! Beautiful!
