WilliamsF1 responds to FIA
 
With the recent announcement by both the WilliamsF1 and McLaren teams that they intend to challenge the recent rule changes introduced by the FIA and the response from Max Mosley, which questioned the statements made by the two teams, it is now the turn of  Sir Frank Williams’ and Ron Dennis to respond.

In a statement from both WilliamsF1 and McLaren it was made very clear that both teams would continue down the path of taking the FIA to
arbitration.

"In the event that the FIA does not confirm that they will seek the agreement of all teams with respect to the recent changes to the Technical and Sporting Regulations that they intend to introduce by close of business today, we will commence Arbitration proceedings under the Concorde Agreement which will resolve these issues in a confidential and dignified manner," the letter read.

"We made our position entirely clear in our letter to the FIA of February 20. We believe that the FIA is in breach of contract, we disagree with a number of the changes you have imposed and we are concerned that the F1 Technical Working Group members have expressed a view that the changes could increase the safety risk."
