(GMM) BAR believe that six of its nine F1 team rivals also ran a potentially underweight car at Imola.
A document released publicly by the banned Brackley squad revealed how team manager Ron Meadows had, in the event that BAR's fuel system was deemed illegal at the circuit, prepared multiple protests.
''We believed,'' Ron wrote in a court submission, ''that (their) fuel systems ... were similar to ours ... and would have ... contained fuel after being weighed.''
He added, however, that no other car's fuel system - although near identical - was also checked by the FIA for illegality.
Meadows' protests, though, never saw light of day as stewards deemed the 007 system legal -- until the FIA appealed.
glad to see em move on...
lets hope this is the last we hear of such incidents...

FIA Court of Appeal judgement 'fair'
A statement from BAR Honda

B•A•R keen to put the Imola saga behind them
What follows is a statement from B•A•R Honda in which they announce that they now accept that Formula One cars must be above the minimum weight requirement at all times with fuel removed from the car. The team now claim that the findings of the Court of Appeal were 'fair'.
Having investigated the matter fully, including making extensive enquiries of other teams, B•A•R Honda now accept that Formula One cars must always weigh more than 600kg when completely empty of fuel and that this applies even if the car's fuel system is such that some of the fuel in the car is unusable. Before making these enquiries it was the team's honest belief that fuel which could not be used during the race did not have to be removed before the car was weighed.
On this basis B•A•R Honda accept the decision of the FIA Court of Appeal as fair in the circumstances and recognise that the judges in this, as in other cases, are fully independent, being lawyers and professional judges of high standing who give their service on a voluntary basis.
B•A•R Honda want nothing more than to compete with other teams in the Formula One World Championship on an entirely fair and equal basis and look forward to rejoining the competition at the European Grand Prix.

They have a very competitive car, I just think them missing 2 races wasn't the right solution.
But, enough negative talk.
More talk about how good there cars are going to be and how Sato will find another way of not getting any points. :p
hehe like schuey ;)Quote:

erm, lucky we talking aboutt his season u by goner :p
oh dont worry im aware im aware, who's winning out of taku and schuey? this season or championships? Your call:p
Taku is the leading driver for his country as far as points go. So he's the best Japanese driver. But Michael is the second best German driver so far this season.
But he has infinity times more points than Sato. Lol.
Hey, if somehow my Civic conformed to F1 regs, if I entered it, I'd be on level points with both Sato and Button!
hahaha I like that, I'll use that one until they score some points. Just reading the title on this thread and damn we've pushed it off topic:D
lol true... interesting way to look at it lol :wave:Quote:

(GMM) When BAR return to the track next Friday, team chiefs might want to slip Bernie Ecclestone a quiet 'thankyou.'
The 74-year-old 'supremo' revealed at Monte Carlo, where the Honda-owned squad will serve out a two-grand prix ban, that he persuaded FIA president Max Mosley not to chase a one-year ban for cheating.
''I told him to come back from that a little bit,'' Bernie said, ''because I was worried Honda might leave (F1).
''It would also not have been good for the sport.''
Ecclestone also basically admitted that his FIA job offer to liaise with the teams is a Mosley plot to appease damaged-beyond-repair relations.
''Max enjoys confrontation,'' he smiled, ''but I'd rather just get on and get the job done.''

Gee, no shit!
I still do think that someone didn't pay Max the right amount or anything at all and now he wants them to hurt.
why won't max just leave. Didn't think ol Bernie was that sorta bloke, although looking at that, all he wants is F1 to make more money and with BAR there, bingo
yeh f1 would be bad with nine teams, its bad enough with 10
