BAR-Honda could face a further six-month ban after criticising the governing FIA.

Honda spokesman Tatsuya Iida said a two-race ban for entering an underweight car at Imola is 'too severe' and wrong.

''We gave them proof we didn't break the rules,'' Tatsuya - also calling for 'clearer' regulations - added.

FIA president Max Mosley reacted angrily to Honda's adverse commentary by claiming the team is attacking 'the integrity' of the body.

''Any sport,'' a statement (alleging that Honda's view may be 'prejudicial to the image ... of Formula One') revealed, ''is likely to (when attacked) impose further sanctions on a competitor.

''(BAR-Honda's statements) are currently under investigation.''

With BAR's two race ban, came a further six month ban, 'suspended' for a one-year period.

So freedom of speech is also not allowed then!

There have been rumblings that F1 should sign up to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. This was set up to arbitrate on regulatory wrangles, and football, motorcycling and many other sports are signed up with them.

Max Mosley has dismissed the idea.

Wonder why...!?!
