Having dealt with BAR, the FIA turn their attention to Toyota

(Spotted via the community.) BBC reports:

Toyota could face sanctions from Formula One’s governing body after it emerged the team has competed for years without the correct licence.

F1 Racing magazine claimed the team could be stripped of their points for the first four races of the season.

“The matter is under investigation,” said an International Automobile Federation (FIA) spokesman.

“Toyota, currently second in the championship behind pace-setters Renault, had always had a super licence but had failed to renew their competition licence since 2000.”

Will the FIA penalise the person(s) responsible for renewing Toyota’s competition licence and who failed to check they met the prerequisites? No, they’ll penalise Toyota because I’m sure they did this deliberately … to gain … err, nothing. It’s not like they were refused a licence and tried to get around the rules.

The FIA is a joke; bring on the GPWC!
