And just getting rid of Briatore?? he should face the Court also.
Just goes to show what happens behind the scenes when the money in sports gets to such incredible heights.
Look at the drivers, you want me, X million dollars, you want to get rid of me, 2X million dollars.
F1 needs to look at other areas to cut costs, instead of limiting testing and R&D.
As regards Mr. Briatore, the World Motor Sport Council declares that, for an unlimited period, the FIA does not intend to sanction any International Event, Championship, Cup, Trophy, Challenge or Series involving Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever, or grant any license to any Team or other entity engaging Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever. It also hereby instructs all officials present at FIA-sanctioned events not to permit Mr. Briatore access to any areas under the FIA’s jurisdiction. Furthermore, it does not intend to renew any Superlicence granted to any driver who is associated (through a management contract or otherwise) with Mr. Briatore, or any entity or individual associated with Mr. Briatore. In determining that such instructions should be applicable for an unlimited period, the World Motor Sport Council has had regard not only to the severity of the breach in which Mr. Briatore was complicit but also to his actions in continuing to deny his participation in the breach despite all the evidence

"So if I tell him to go and kill somebody, yuh think he will listen to me?"
Look Briatore was not fined one Euro, and he made millions from Renault, and even more millions from the commissions from the drivers he managed, so he must be smiling all the way to his young girlfriend who going an have a baby for him sometime soon.
His punishment as stated above is called "being warned off" - get lost from anything to do with F1.
Also everybody coming down on Piquet jr, but face it, this is the top of racing, and he figured if he did not comply, he is out, and like all persons who in crime, he figured they would never be found out, and he would have his seat for a long time.
Renault title sponsor ING has terminated its deal with the French car manufacturer with immediate effect on the back of the team being found guilty of fixing last year's Singapore Grand Prix.
Just days after Renault was handed a two-year suspended ban for its involvement in causing a crash in Singapore 12 months ago to help Fernando Alonso win, ING dropped a bombshell in the early hours of Friday morning when it announced it was ending its involvement in the team immediately.
A statement issued by ING confirmed that it had chosen to pull its sponsorship deal because of the events of the last week.
"ING announced today that in light of the verdict of the World Motor Sport Council of 21 September 2009 concerning the events that occurred at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, ING will terminate the contract with Renault Formula 1 with immediate effect," said the statement.
"ING is deeply disappointed at this turn of events, especially in the context of an otherwise successful sponsorship. As announced on 16 February of this year, ING decided not to renew the three year sponsorship (2007-2009) contract with Renault F1 and to end its presence in Formula 1 after the 2009 season."
A spokesperson for the Dutch banking giants confirmed to AUTOSPORT that the decision will result in the ING logos being removed from the cars and other team areas.
However she stated that ING's commitment to trackside advertising would remain until the end of the year.
ING's decision comes hours after Spanish insurance company Mutua Madrilena announced that it was also ending its Renault sponsorship deal as it felt the team's involving in the race fixing scandal amounted to a breach of contract.
Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel clocked the quickest lap of Friday practice for the Singapore Grand Prix as crashes interrupted each session at Marina Bay.
The German lapped in one minute 48.650 seconds in the second session to beat Renault's Fernando Alonso by 0.274secs.
Rubens Barrichello topped the first session ahead of his Brawn team-mate and championship leader Jenson Button.
Renault's Romain Grosjean and then Red Bull's Mark Webber crashed out on the dusty, slippery street circuit.
The first session was stopped for 10 minutes half-way through after Grosjean lost control of his Renault and crashed at Turn 17.
The Frenchman's mishap was laden with irony as it was at the same point where former Renault driver Nelson Piquet Jr was ordered to crash last year, the controversial race-fixing incident which saw Renault handed a suspended ban from F1 this week.
Webber, who was third fastest in the first session, was running aggressively at the top of the timesheets around the hour mark of the second when he crashed head on into a wall on the pit straight.
