indeed they have been suspended, its for using fuel as ballast and having an underweight car once drained of the aforementioned fuel.

I think the punishment was a touch harsh, taking the points away from the team would have been enough....although listening to Max Mosely (the FIA Head honcho) they were lucky not to have been banned for the season.

It's alright saying that they cheated, however they've had the same configuration all this season and no-ones complained yet. What makes it even more of a joke from the FIA point of view, they knew about the fuel system!!

The thing I find quite amusing is that if this was intentional, you would have thought they would have at least won the race and not lagged so far behind the Renault and Ferrari.

Just my two cents!

Everyone here seems to be calling BAR cheaters.....but how many of you have actually looked up the law that was supposedly infringed.

The law states that the car must weigh 600 kilos (including driver) when drained of all fuel.

On the BAR car there was a separate compartment (not actually accessible to the fuel system) that had fuel in it that was being used as ballast. This bought the total weight of the car to over 600 kilos. BAR didnot gain any advantage from using fuel as ballast, nor did any driver.

BAR did not cheat, they simply interpreted the laws as they saw them, unfortunately for them the governing body does not interpret them in the same way and consequently BAR have been punished. As a result, instead of the mishmash of regulations that currently exist in formula 1, there should be a complete overhaul with complete clarification of what is and isnt legal to use on and in the cars.

I do think that branding the whole team cheaters is a little harsh.

      The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.

    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
