    So, a whole big nothing sandwich in the end. Really strange situation. All teams denying any involvement, meanwhile El Salman under fire. What a shit show.

    Absolute shitshow.

    I’ve heard of some opinions saying that all this fuss is to try to set the teams against each other, and after such cheap accusations (while not actually accusing) and this quick withdrawal from the FIA I’m inclined to believe that.

      Or some poor little boys’ feelings were hurt because a lady has a job. And let me tell you what, there’s been a lot of that the last couple of days.

    In an ideal world, one of the two should recuse themselves from the position in the first place, though. And this is why I look down to F1 management. Money undermines values there.
