So in other words, as any reasonable person already knew, there was obviously a disclosure process before appointing someone to an incredibly high profile job.

And obviously, the FOM took appropriate mitigating steps because they were aware of the conflict of interest and knew it was part of their role to keep it from becoming problematic (because secondary interests are not inherently problematic, they occur every. single. day in most industries).

And obviously the FOM, a massive organisation with high-powered lawyers on payroll know how to set up a COI policy properly.

And obviously, this entire investigation/internal review was fuelled by the “reporting” of one man known for writing sexist and borderline libellous hit-pieces on women in motorsports.

And obviously, the FIA gave into that public pressure because a) sexism and b) lack-of-spine-usitis

But of course we had to spend a majority of this week dragging one of the most successful women in motorsports through the mud because there was just no way of telling if this was a merited investigation on its face. But hey, at least it serves as a reminder to anyone up-and-coming in the motorsports world that your presence in it as a woman is always going to be doubted, maybe we were starting to forget that!
