The FIA has sought to clarify the rules regarding the participation of teams in the Formula One World Championship, insisting any failure to attend a round of the series would be viewed as an infringement of its regulations.
The issue has been a hot topic in recent days with speculation suggesting new teams Campos Meta and US F1 may not be ready to take up their places on the grid for the opening race of the season in Bahrain on March 14. The teams appeared to be given the green light to miss up to three races following revelations from the Concorde Agreement. But the FIA last night said that any team forced to miss a race this season would do so in contravention of the rules. The FIA statement read: "From a sporting and regulatory point of view, each team that has registered for the Championship is obliged to take part in every event of the season. Any failure to take part, even for just one Championship event, would constitute an infringement both of the Concorde Agreement and the FIA Regulations."
