Any motor racing fans in here?
Seems like some interesting facts are coming out ahead of the tribunal i.e. The FIA offered to cut a deal with Mercedes to limit the punishment to a few points if they pleaded guilty of the charge.
Anyone else think this looks like the FIA trying to get out of the court case, for fear of coming out with egg on their faces. More pertinent, is that Mercedes turned it down, saying they’d prefer to chance the court. There’s a lot of history here too, with Ecclestone and Brawn really not being on talking terms since the Brawn GP days, and the intimation that Todt and Brawn fell out at Ferrari too.
Horner has rocked up too, no doubt to stir the pot a little.
It’s going to be a very interesting day me thinks.
