BAR has this morning, Thursday September 9, issued the following statement:
"BAR understands that WilliamsF1 has lodged a contract between itself and Jenson Button for 2005 with the Contract Recognition Board (CRB), and this now sets in motion the correct procedure for arbitration.
BAR is pleased that, after weeks of speculation, the legitimate process of arbitration is being followed. The team places its faith in the CRB's judgment over the matter and will abide by the outcome.
In the event that the CRB upholds BAR's contract with Jenson Button for the 2005 season, the team very much looks forward to working with him, and taking another step forward in its ambitious plans to win the World Championship."
