    Well RBR own the Austrian GP track, I don't see Renault, Mercedes or Ferrari own their own tracks on the calender.

    RBR can hardly be classed as a 'privateer'

    Red Bull will not be severely punished. The FIA is weaker than it was in 2005 & 2007.

    if RBR get a severe punishment for this, then F1 is a joke, and the FIA are clearly giving Mercedes oral behind the bike sheds. They can get away with an illegal test, yet RBR can't get away with ignoring faulty equipment?

    Not many privateers own f1 tracks or sponsor and run FIA events <laugh>
    They are now big enough to be safe from major punishment.

    I'm pretty sure they'll get a slap on the wrist. They won't want to risk upsetting RBR.

    Red Bull would probably been better off just letting it go... But I guess we'll see tomorrow. The FIA are nothing if not unpredictable.

    What are the chances of them receiving a race ban? Is this as bad an offence as BAR in 2005? Perhaps they will get off lightly like merc did last year.

    Won't be BAR bad I don't think as RBR never tried to hide what they did, just hoped they could explain it afterwards.

    Didn't RBR do some out-of-hours testing in Spain before the Bahrain tests?

    Decision of the International Court of Appeal

    The Court, after having heard the parties and examined their submissions, decided to uphold the Decision N°56 of the Stewards by which they decided to exclude Infiniti Red Bull Racing&#8217;s car N°3 from the results of the 2014 Australian Grand Prix.

    The International Court of Appeal was presided over by Mr Harry DUIJM (Netherlands), and included Mr Rui BOTICA SANTOS (Portugal), Mr Philippe NARMINO (Monaco), Mr Antonio RIGOZZI (Switzerland) and Mr Jan STOVICEK (Czech Republic).

    The full decision will be available on the website by the end of the week.

    There will be not further punishments, the original ruling stands and that is the end of it for both sides.

    If I read the "The Judge" suming up correct, they cleary and deliberatly gained a substancial advantage. RB claimed the offset was wrong to the tune of a few 100ths of a second but by implementing their own calculations gained several 10ths? If that is correct and they deliberatley ignored the directive it is blatant cheating and should be punished more. Just my opinion.
