@fernando Confronting the teams won't work Fernando, we can only move forward by achieving consensus, I would be happy to debate these political issues with Max.

@Bernie I'll stop you there Bernie, although the FIA is now experienced in dealing with controversies involving questionable Germanic regimes, the legal department is running low on budget.

@Montezuma The FIA can't just bow to the whims of every team owner, and a former employee can't be seen to give preferential treatment to Ferrari.

What in the name of...

@Bernie Please Bernie, no more shady deals, leave the cigarette companies where they belong, and leave the politicians alone too.

@Bernie I'll just stop you there Bernie.

@Bernie I'll stop you there Bernie, and a bit less on the tax schemes please, we don't want another embarrassing German court case now do we.

@fernando The FIA has no further comment on the Bahrain Grand Prix.

@fernando The FIA are keenly away of this issue, but due to ongoing court proceedings we must refrain from getting involved as yet.

@fernando As soon as the Italian and British courts have come to a conclusion on the matter, we will come to a conclusion on the matter.

Christ Flavio, world champions driving GP2 cars, your ideas are getting more ridiculous than Bernie's.

@flavio Around 500 million people by all accounts.

@Montezuma Christ, we agreed you'd warn me about any bright new ideas Bernie. We cannot allow extra Ferrari's on the grid, I would be accused of bias towards my former employers.

@Domenicali I can't be seen to appease my former employers at the expense of smaller teams.

@Bernie I'll stop you there Bernie. I think we need consensus from all the teams Luca, we cannot just pander to Ferrari, I would be accused of favouritism.

@Bernie For the love of Christ Bernie, you know you can't go there.

@Bernie Let's not go there again Bernie.

@Bernie They would of course need to get super-licenses Bernie. The FIA would look very sternly on untrained singers or drivers taking a GP start.

@fernando Decision making is a complicated process. There are many factors involved.
