[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 60009, member: 81"] Not to mention that so many drivers complained of hearing the Ferrari misfire away coming out from slow corners during a time when traction control was banned. What did the FIA do about the complaints? They legalized traction control halfway through the season with the excuse it was "too difficult" for them to monitor who had them and who didn't haha. Anyway, BAR has pulled out and is not going to contest the FIA's decision. There were threats from the FIA of random inspection changes which will allow them to strip every bolt from cars in the point after the race to make live hell for "somebody".. ---- The hearing centred around a second fuel tank, which was not fully emptied when the scrutineers asked for the car to be fully drained of fuel at the end of the San Marino race. Fry still insists the team are innocent. "We know that the other teams have got a similar system because the fuel tank supplier who supplies us is the same as many of the teams. They have confirmed there's nothing unusual about or system. There have been rumours other people have been looking at their cars overall. This is a very draconian interpretation of the rules. I think it's made everyone look carefully at what their doing." In a statement the team added: "The FIA court of appeal was unable to prove the team acted in bad faith so the team is unclear why there was the penalty. The team contests anything that could tarnish its reputation. BAR are so enraged with the decision that they have decided to publish their entire submission to the court of appeal on their official website later Friday afternoon." They also confirmed that they will discuss the ramifications of the decision with their fellow teams and engine manufacturers on the Grand Prix grid and Fry added: "We are going to ensure we are completely transparent. During the course of the afternoon, we are posting everything from the court of appeal, all our witness statements, all our technical data (on our official website).
