..by announcing that McLaren's appeal is inadmissible. Conveniently, it waited to issue the news in order to reduce the media ripples.
This is pretty definitive proof that the FIA's judgement processes bear only a superficial resemblance to any judicial process I have read about. In most legal jurisdictions, if a party to a court action does not have standing, the action cannot go forward. In it's own way, the FIA appears to be saying that McLaren do not have standing to file an appeal. Yet they spent most of a day hearing the whole damn appeal, with dozens of representatives from 4 teams, high-priced lawyers (are there any cheap lawyers in this sort of litigation?) and FIA representatives present. This is absolutely effing bizarre. If McLaren had no standing to file an appeal, the FIA should simply have emailed them and said that. Then this appeal would not have been required.
My conclusion is that the FIA is fast approaching the point where, on matters of enforcement of the Formula 1 regulations, it does not know the difference between its ass and its elbow. This will not impress the investors in the sport. There need to be major changes, and quick.
