BAR Ban!!!

I can't believe that the BAR team have been banned for the next two races! I know I shouldn't have put a bet on Jenson winning the championship - I stood more chance backing one of the Minardi's!

Re: BAR Ban!!!

it didnt seem like much of a rule breach though
and the car was still technically below minimum weight
didthey deserve a two race ban

I think that BAR have got off very light. The last time there was an indescretion at this level of motorsport, Team Toyota Europe copped for a 12 month ban from World Rallying for running with a turbo that didn't meet the regulations.
The FIA have been inconsistently lenient.

Re: BAR Ban!!!

Yes, compare that with Schumacher's penalty in 1997, that was publicly aired to how many millions?

Take away their points for that year? Who remembers second place anyway.

I can agree perhaps with docking their points for Imola, but to ban them for 2 races seems a little harsh.

It was a ploy to try and get Honda to back out of the GWPC, which I think has backfired
