"Ralf Schumacher already turned down an offer from one of the new Formula 1 teams but did not accept the offer."

He turned a team down, but they didn't accept his offer of not driving for them?

Holy engrish batman.

My guess is someone tried to change "Ralf Schumacher was already offered a drive from one of the new Formula 1 teams but did not accept the offer" into "Ralf Schumacher already turned down an offer from one of the new Formula 1 teams" and just shat all over themselves in the process.

Have you ever seen that episode of Family Guy, where Stewie and Brian clone themselves, only the clones come out slightly off and a bit retarded....???..... Yeah, that's what happened in the Schumacher household many years ago.

Flavo Flav's ban has been overturned by a French court, but the FIA says they will appeal. Pat Symonds 5 year ban was also overturned.

Gotta love the French legal system.

"Sorry FIA/F1, you're not allowed to not employ these cheaters. If they want to work in your organization, you can't say no, even if they conspired to risk a driver's life to help another driver cheat to victory."

How does that make any sense?

They surrendered to the overwhelming force of lawyers.

Who the hell is going to hire him though? Would you if you had anything to do with Motorsports?

There are drivers, most notable Mark Webber, that have Briatore as their manager that don't want to give him up. Personally, as much as Briatore sucks, he's a personal friend of Ecclestone, and that's a good connection I'd like to have if I were a driver picking my manager.

So far FIA has stated they won't renew a SuperLicense to any driver that employs Briatore as their manager, which this lawsuit would overturn. I don't really have a problem with that... but I would have a problem w/ Briatore being in a position where he would be making race-day decisions. They should have upheld that part of his ban.

Yeah, good point, that kinda sucks.

Maybe he's back at Brackley sweeping the floors with the third driver broom.

Who?

I thought USF1 was gonna get a Renault driver... but I thought it was going to be Kubica because Renault threw in the towel.
