BAR and Button get two-race ban

The BAR team has been banned for two races for running an underweight car at the San Marino Grand Prix.

An appeal court of motorsport's ruling body the FIA also stripped BAR of the 10 points won by Jenson Button and team-mate Takuma Sato at Imola. But it stopped short of meeting the FIA's request that BAR be thrown out of the Formula One championship.

Button and Sato will now have to sit out Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix on 22 May. And the decision to exclude BAR's San Marino results means the team and its drivers will have no points when they return for the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring on 29 May.

A further six-month ban has been suspended for a year.

The ruling was the toughest sanction taken against a Formula One team for 20 years.

BAR plan to fight Grand Prix ban

BAR have reacted angrily after being banned for two races for running an underweight car at the San Marino GP. The team said it was still considering its options and hoped to race in the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday.

Rubens Barrichello's poor season continued as the Ferrari driver was docked 10 places on the starting grid for Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix. The team spotted a problem with his engine ahead of Saturday qualifying and were forced to replace it.

Nick Heidfeld was also penalised 10 places on the grid because his Williams also needed a new engine. Engine partners BMW said they had discovered a defective exhaust valve.

Jenson Button and Takuma Sato will not be in the next two races after BAR-Honda decided not to challenge the two-race ban handed to it by the FIA International Court of Appeal on Thursday.

This time Räikkönen will beat them all! It would be nice if Trulli took the pole, not Alonso this time.

I am starting to dislike the new qualifying format as well as the new one-tyre rule. I think to make F1 even more tactically competitive, FIA should allow two sets of tyres per race weekend. Use them as you like and change them as you see tactically advantageous. This can bring a whole great perspective on tactics and race strategies.

I agree, pit stops have become a lot more boring since the new rules about one set of tyres came in. These new rules are suppost to enable teams to cut their costs and therefore the smaller teams have more of a chance to become competitive, but the bigger teams are just spending more money to develop faster cars within the rules.

Todays faster lap (Giancarlo Fisichella) was nearly two seconds faster than any lap previously - it doesn't seem like the rules are slowing the cars down as they are suppost to.

I am not sure if diamonds are going to be a feature of the divers helmets or of the McLaren cars but Steinmetz in association with Team McLaren Mercedes will be on board the luxury, super-yacht the SS Delphine, playing host to a selection of Grand Prix legends, Royalty, Hollywood stars, friends and F1 luminaries for the duration of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix Weekend.

The idea behind it is to launch Steinmetz's new collection of diamond jewellery.

The Monaco Grand Prix brings the wealthiest people from all over the world together. It is set in the luxurious streets of Monte Carlo, and is one of the most traditional races on the calendar.

The circuit winds its way through the streets, from Ste devote, it goes uphill to Casino square, then plunges back down to Mirabeau before heading into the Loews hairpin. The tunnel that leads to the harbourside chicane echoes with the roar of the V10 engines. This is one track where overtaking is virtually impossible.

The first race was run in 1929, and in 1950, it was second on the calendar, when ten cars collided in a spectacular first lap accident, and Fangio raced on for the win. This track has so much history, it's hard to compress it in a few short sentences, but it goes without saying that this circuit is one that remains a favourite in many fans hearts, for many different reasons. It is a circuit based more on driver skill than the speed of the car.

Stirling Moss won in 1956, but in 57, he was involved in an accident at the chicane, and handed victory to Fangio. Moss was the main pace setter in this era, and his most memorable victory was in 1961 when he expertly held off both Ferraris. It was the first race after Ayrton Senna's tragic death, and it saw Michael Schumacher dominate, as he did again in 1995. Panis scored a surprise win for Prost in 1996, and Schumacher dominated once again in wet conditions in 97.

The McLaren of Mika Hakkinen took the honours in 98, with Schumacher and the Ferrari returning to claim the Germans fourth win in 99. The year 2000 was David Coulthard's time to shine, the Scot winning ahead of Ferrari driver, Rubens Barrichello and Benetton man, Giancarlo Fisichella. In 2001 McLaren driver David Coulthard was sent to the back of the grid for stalling and spent most of the event stuck behind the Arrows of Enrique Bernoldi as Michael Schumacher romped home for the win. However, the Scot got his own back in 2002 with a well-deserved victory, his one and only of the season.

Juan Pablo Montoya drove a superb race to secure his and Williams first win of the 2003 season, a mere 6 tenths of a second in front of the McLaren of Kimi Raikkonen. Michael Schumacher crossed the line in third place, a further second behind the Finn.

2004 saw quite a race around the streets of Monte Carlo as Jarno Trulli drove the race of his career from pole position to chequered flag to record Renault's sole victory of the season. The Italian racer battled long and hard to keep Michael Schumacher behind him, but the Ferrari star found himself inexplicably tangled up with Juan Pablo Montoya whist behind the safety car and his race was over on the spot.

The 2004 race will also be remembered for Fernando Alonso's massive crash in the tunnel as the Spaniard tried to pass around the outside of Ralf Schumacher's ailing BMW Williams. For Trulli and Renault, Monaco 2004 was a dream result in what would become a bitter season.

QUALIFYING FORMAT SET TO CHANGE

Formula 1's team bosses have universally agreed to scrap the current aggregated qualifying system and replace it with a single hour-long one-lap session on Saturday afternoons.

The new format must now pass through the Formula 1 Commission and the World Council before it is approved, but the new procedure could be in place as early as the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring next weekend.

The new format must now pass through the Formula 1 Commission and the World Council before it is approved, but the new procedure could be in place as early as the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring next weekend.

The proposal should be ratified following the results of a fax vote this week.

The new system will see drivers compete for grid position in full race specification from 13:00 on Saturday afternoon, with the order of running decided by the result of the previous grand prix.

The current qualifying format has emphasised the disadvantage of running early in a session because of the aggregate still reflects a slow lap time in first qualifying.

Some of the faster runners, such as Giancarlo Fisichella have found themselves severely handicapped by running early, and have then taken a couple of grands prix to climb back to the front-end of the grid.

Teams were also believed to be unhappy that the Sunday morning qualifying session made race day's schedule far too hectic.

I still prefer the two hour session of two runs ... 1st run based on the previous GP placings and the 2nd based on the reverse timings of the 1st Qualifying run .... like last year. What was wrong with that? The drivers could run their cars in qualifying trim and then set it up for race trim for the second run. It was strategic and exciting.

Next thing FIA will change is the cars all lined up in a single row and the drivers making a 100m dash for their cars to begin racing ... like in some motoGPs. :rolleyes:
