Iliana Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 BAR win Button Battle! from ITV-F1 F1’s Contracts Recognition Board has ruled that Jenson Button must stay at BAR in 2005. Button had signed for Williams earlier this year after the Briton's management team found a loophole in his BAR contract that they believed enabled him to jump ship. The CRB met in Milan last Saturday to hear the legal arguments from both teams. After three days of deliberations the board ruled in favour of Button's current team and said the Briton had no right to sign for rivals Williams. Williams have confirmed that they will not challenge the CRB's verdict. Team boss Frank Williams said: "Naturally we are disappointed with the CRB's conclusion. “We took the view that Jenson was a driver worth challenging for, and based on strong legal advice, we have no regrets about making a bid for his services. "The CRB accepted a significant number of the BMW WilliamsF1 Team's arguments, but nevertheless found against us. We do not believe any further legal action in relation to this matter to be in the broader interests of the sport.” Not surprisingly, BAR welcomed the decision. A team statement read: “BAR has expressed delight at the confirmation today from the Contract Recognition Board that BAR’s contract with Jenson Button is the only valid contract for 2005. “Jenson has played a crucial role in B.A.R's success over the past two seasons, particularly this year when B.A.R is hopeful of finishing second in the 2004 constructors' championship.” rompaaaaaaaaa :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
