There has been some questioning by some F1 Journos on why Flav was involved, he isn't involved in anything F1 at the moment, hell he's banned from the sport for what he orchestrated.
His ban was (partially) overturned. In a settlement with the FIA they promised not to have any "operational control" over any team racing in FIA sanctioned events for three years, but the ban on them attending events was removed.
Bernie was a supporter of this. And it's certain that he wouldn't have let him participate if they knew he wasn't supposed to be there.
But then would you have complained if Eddie Irvine or some other former F1 driver had been a passenger? That's like suggesting that Mansell shouldn't have been an F1 SIARPC because he didn't have an F1 seat at the time.
