FIA asked if both cars were identical, BAR said "yes".

First :welcome: T-K

And I fully agree that Sato's penalty wasn't fair (and neither was BAR's for that matter).

But Sato's car was declared legal, how then do you go an assume that it may have been underweight without any physical data or evidence to support it.

Nonsense but I think teams beware of BAR when the come back.

Even though the penalty in my opinion was grossly unfair, they'll learn.
They have been under far more pressure in the past.
I'm back and yes supporting Alonso "The Cute" in the Ferrari!

FINALLY someone who agrees with me.......so far every one i have spoken to has disagreed and told me that they (Sato and Button) deserved it......which i think is complete rubbish.

F1 is an expensive game, BAR and HONDA made great efforts to reach the top, their drivers did a great job for the last 2 years(Im not saying since JV left, but definitely since Jenson joined them).
The verdict is grossly unfair and cant be accepted by the team, how many millions worth is their loss? It was a very unspirited and dumb move by the FIA, cant understand why Bernie didnt interfere in this case(dont tell me he couldnt). :roll:

From what i have heard, its gonna set B.A.R back just over $60 mil, which is quite a large sum of money, even for a team like bar.
