I always found him and his style distatsteful. He was the sort of person of whom I thought you would have to count your fingers after shaking hands. In my experience such people are usually smart enough to stay above the spilling of blood and so it is a surprise to see him getting caught. It begs, for me, a number of questions on the assumption that his resignation is a virtual admission of guilt.
1. He is also head of FOTA, the organisation that was trying to organise a breakaaway. Will he remain there and what does it do for thecredibility of that organisation? Will any team still wnat to be a member?
2. I read that Briatore, lifelong QPR fan and passionate supporter of football, evidenced by his visiting the club once before his and Bernie's takeover, will be allowed to continue as a director. Not a direct connection to motor-racing but still a sport, nevertheless.
3. M. Schumacher's barging off Damon Hill in order to win the championship - is this not an act from the same mould as Picquet's? Arguably it could have been more damgerous as another driver was targetted?
4. Given that J. Todt was leader of Ferrari at that time (this is more assumption and I have not checked the dates) would this not cause a question mark to be raised against his potential Presidency of the FIA?
