Who are you to point a fingerand slander Briatore like this?
What have you done in motor racing?

You are so smug in your accusations, pointing your finger, yet you know nothing about Flavio and worse you measure him based on a media portrait that focuses on a single incident where he was found guilty by a kangaroo court - later overturned by a proper court.

You sound like one of these gossip columnists that inhabit the rags of the world.

Show respect for a man that recognized and enabled two outstanding people to become double world champions - Schumi and Alonso.

In addition, you slander Briatore and therefore by default do the same to Mark Webber and Alonso as they publicly stood by Flavio, in Mark's case, despite threats from the FIA.

You are no different to those who do the same to Bernie - people who know nothing about him, who he is, but slavishly believe that which a corrupt and ignorant media feed up.

when you show the same respect to everyone in the sport then we'll listen to you. You get on your high horse the moment someone dares criticize a past great or team member, regardless of what they may have said or done on this occasion, yet never hesitate to stick the boot into other drivers and teams, specifically recently Rubens (whiner, cry baby etc) and Hamilton. when you start applying your standards to everyone, not just who you choose to place on the pedestal in your head maybe others will do the same, until then your opinion of people like Flav is just that, your opinion, and no more valid than mine - which i maintain, there are way too many links to a shady underworld past in his back story to hold him up as a shining beacon in any respect and far too much controversy surrounding even his time in F1 for him to come up whiter than white.

I'm not arguing about his successes, nor even begrudging him them, but there is much more to his story than that
