Having investigated the matter fully, including making extensive enquiries of other teams, B�A�R Honda now accept that Formula
One cars must always weigh more than 600kg when completely empty of fuel and that this applies even if the car's fuel system is such
that some of the fuel in the car is unusable. Before making these enquiries it was the team's honest belief that fuel which could
not be used during the race did not have to be removed before the car was weighed.
On this basis B�A�R Honda accept the
decision of the FIA Court of Appeal as fair in the circumstances and recognise that the judges in this, as in other cases, are fully
independent, being lawyers and professional judges of high standing who give their service on a voluntary basis.
B�A�R Honda
want nothing more than to compete with other teams in the Formula One World Championship on an entirely fair and equal basis and
look forward to rejoining the competition at the European Grand Prix.
