It's all a bluff, Stoddard just ruffled their feathers. He could do the same in the UK & numerous other countries. The law is the law & FIA can't change that. What Stoddard did was wrong & I reckon he won't be around in F1 too much longer, after all he didn't comply to 2005 spec & it only took him overnight to rectify the cars so they could comply. He should have changed the spec & saved all the crap in court, FIA weren't even notified of a court appearance. Minardi don't have enough cash for R&D for new cars & before the end of last year had every team bosses signature for them to run the 2004 car, but some team bosses have changed & the new ones won't sign. Ferrari refused to sign his latest approach & personally they shouldn't. This sport is for the big boys not the wanna be's. Russ
