FIA set to clear Michelin teams
(Agencies)
Updated: 2005-07-15 09:06 Seven Michelin-shod teams are
to set have their guilty verdicts for bringing the sport into disrepute
overturned.
They were found guilty after pulling out of the US Grand
Prix, but Formula One's governing body the FIA has recommended the verdicts be
dismissed.
The FIA said: "Disciplinary proceedings against the teams had ceased to be
appropriate and were no longer in the interest of the sport."
The teams are Renault, McLaren, Toyota, Williams, Red Bull, Sauber and BAR.
They were found guilty of failing to ensure they had suitable tyres and
wrongfully refusing to start the race at last month's US Grand Prix.
The Michelin-equipped teams withdrew after the formation lap at Indianapolis
because the French company said it could not guarantee the safety of the tyres
through the final high-speed banked corner.
