Word has it that matters are falling apart within the FIA World Council meeting in Paris today. The general hearing has already taken place, and the team principals are now coming out one by one - and are refusing to comment - but the word from within the meeting is that bad news is expected.

BAR principal Nick Fry has just come out of the meeting, with Ron Dennis expected to be the next to come out.

Minardi's Paul Stoddart came to Paris, but was refused entry to the World Council meeting.

An FIA press conference with Max Mosley is planned for 3pm local Paris time, while a press conference of the Manufacturers is expected sometime after - at which Stoddart is expected to be part of.

Rumours are that BAR is facing a ban - in which case it is anticipated that BAT and Honda would announce that they would pull out of the championship.

More as things develop...

"I cannot speak for the world council, but personally speaking I would be very reluctant to do anything with points unless what the person had done affected their sporting performance," Mosley said.

"It would not be appropriate to deduct points or ban people from a race. We do have ability to impose a fine and can do what we want with the money.

"We could impose fines and use that money to compensate. We said if you sort it out we will take a lenient view, if you don't sort it out, we will not take a lenient view."

Yep...leave it to Mosley to fuck things up. BTW, anyone still feel like this choad did the right thing? Thought not.

Why bother? Mosley's trying to kill that series off as well.

The day this whole hoopla happened I was like "What's going on?!" but I came from work to a hotel and I missed the news. I totally forgot that some drama was going on.

Is there a site that has the whole breakdown of the situation? Any new F1 hate sites result?
