No extra punishment for BAR

Contrary to reports elsewhere, BAR is not likely to face extra punishment - for withdrawing from the United States Grand Prix - because it was already 'on probation'.

As previously claimed here on Pitpass, this was never likely as the United States charge is entirely different to the circumstances surrounding the previous transgression.

Speaking at a press conference following today's announcement, FIA president, Max Mosley, said: "The suspended ban was for a reason and as long as they did not transgress in a similar area then it would not be a problem.

"It would be unfair to single them out when the others had a problem," he added.
