How does that work in Finland? Here in Belgium all prisons are full, so you only go to prison if you are convicted for more than 2 years, and even then you have a high change of just getting grounded in you own house.



It's basically same in here. Prison sentences are shorter than what they should be. Also, when they say, the jail time is 2 years, you get half off if you are a first-timer. Then you get few months of that year on open-prison where you just check in and out daily. Also, during that maybe 9 months that you actually have to be in jail, you get holidays, free weekends outside.

But if you fill our tax return form in wrong way or you "steal" from the government, you're gonna ride the lightning - well, almost, you don't get any of those benefits.


So JJ Lehto's attorney will complain about the verdict and they have to take it to the court of appeal first, that takes probably about two years. During that time JJ is free. After that he's most likely going to jail, very rarely does the highest court take any cases on them, only if they need to form a new juridical viewpoint based on precedent case. There's a slim chance that JJ's case could be taken to the highest court as the verdict is mostly based on technical investigation and there's no eye-witnesses. I how ever don't believe that this would happen.

It is sad that JJ did what he did, he was a good commentator and seemed like a nice person. He went drunk driving and killed his friend and lost all the respect he ever had. Such a shame really.

All in all, the Finnish court system and judiciary sucks big time. A triple-murderer could be behind the bars for less than ten years and walk out free, the money he would owe to relatives of his victims doesn't mean anything to him and government would just pay about half of that money for the relatives. And it's all settled juridically.

There's my two cents, I go listen to Metallica's "...And Justice for All" now.

I had no idea that things were like that in Finland. :ohmy:
I always used to thought that Scandinavian countries had very good judiciary system and appropriate law for such felonies. It's sad really to know that even on places you expected something better, you still got the same shit.

Red Bull is a cold hearted team with one ambition :tumble:

That's F1 for ya, chances are that without Red Bull he'd have probably never got to drive a F1 car in the first place

Luiz Perez Sala, who scored a point for Minardi at the 1989 British Grand Prix, is the new team principal at HRT. He's also the uncle of Daniel Juncadella

We can probably expect to see him driving the car at some point then.

STR made the decision on their drivers on Tuesday, so they gave little notice to all 4 drivers

Added Q&A's with both drivers

Autosport asked all the team principals to name their top 10 drivers of 2011, with their identities kept anonymous. The 25-18-etc system was used. STR declined take part:

1. Vettel 241 UP 1
2. Button 200 UP 4
3. Alonso 188 DOWN 2
4. Hamilton 122 DOWN 1
5. Rosberg 90 UP 2
6. Webber 70 DOWN 2
7. Di Resta 44 NEW ENTRY
8. Sutil 38 RE-ENTRY FROM 2009
9. Kovalainen 26 RE-ENTRY FROM 2008
10. Schumacher 23 NEW ENTRY

I wonder which team principal had Vettel as the 4th best driver of the year.

(7 1st; 3 2nd; 1 4th) seems the most likely way to gather 241 points.

I'm guessing someone might have put his drivers 1st and 2nd, and then maybe Button 3rd...
