A crying shame for the sport - Hill
Former World Champion Damon Hill labelled the penalty for the Renault F1 Team as a "crying shame for the sport". Yesterday, the WMSC decided to suspend Renault F1’s disqualification until the end of the 2011 season for 'crashgate'
Hill said to the British newspaper 'The Times': "I'm not surprised they've let Renault off. It's a crying shame for the sport.
"You have to put this in the context of inconsistencies in the way in which the FIA has treated breaches of the regulations over the years and, knowing what we know, we cannot dissociate this from the power play going on behind the scenes for control of Formula 1.
"Formula 1 has to ask itself, is it just a very expensive form of entertainment or a proper sport? There is a whole book on what's wrong with Formula 1. It's called Bernie's Game and the history of this episode is typical."
