This might explain it. ;-) :mrgreen:

Blimey! How much will that cost the team in loss of sponsorship deals, etc?

The car needs to weigh 600kg at all times at the event and the BAR car weighed 594.5 ish at all times at the event with no fuel in any of the parts of the fuel tank. It would seem that the BAR team had some "hidden spots" in the fuel tank they forgot mention. :roll: :roll:

WHEREAS the inspection revealed that on top of the 160 grams of fuel that was emptied, 8.92 kg of fuel still remained in a special compartment within the fuel tank and a further 2.46 kg remained in the bottom of the fuel tank. These quantities remained in the vehicle after the BAR Honda team had confirmed “That’s it” when asked if the draining process was completed,

WHEREAS it is not possible for the Court to find, on the basis of the evidence that it was provided with, that Lucky Strike BAR Honda deliberately committed fraud, their actions at the time of the emptying procedure of the vehicle after the event, and the fact that they did not use their right in accordance with Article 2.4, to address a request for clarification on the rules to the Technical Formula One Department of the FIA, show at the least a highly regrettable negligence and lack of transparency

I hear BAR have sacked Button. They said to solve the weight problem they've had to sign a driver called Lazzer. :roll:
