During the hearing today in Paris at the FIA, Jacques Villeneuve received a warning. Villeneuve had to come over to Paris for his remarks he has for the new regulations that the FIA has presaented for next year. Due to this warning Villeneuve can receive a one race ban if he again shows his opinion in the way he did before. However Villeneuve stated after the hearing that it won't happen again, since his statement was "it was not what I've said but the way I said it". Our comment to this is: you can ask yourself, it's not a question why they plan a hearing but more a question when and where the plan a hearing, two days before the start of a race weekend on the other side of the ocean.

Jos Verstappen left yesterday to Canada for the next grand prix this weekend. Last week the team did a lot of testing using the ED4 engine. The tests were done to improve the setup of the car.
