What makes you say that...? I thought it was the fia president that was pissing people off, I don't recall stories of Stefano causing waves, maybe I missed something?

Symonds is approaching his 71st year of age. Maybe he's just had enough of all of the hassle that trying to get new regs in place creates. It requires fighting so many people it must be no fun at all. So why not retire and go and enjoy his cash?

Well that is interesting. I guess having been on the inside, he knows where the various skeletons are buried.
