Agreed, but the FIA rules are clear where they state that if a vehicle isn't going to race the FIA must be notified 24hours before the race. Worse case the Team can notify the FIA no later then 45mins before start if they have a non-starting vehicle.
The issue, from what I've read, is that the FIA received no such notification, and the cars just pulled into the pits after the warm-up lap.
I'm not saying I agree with the banning of Teams for 6 months and all that jazz, I'm just stating the rules. It's unfortunate that all this will be fought out in the legal arena, rather than on the race-track.
If anything, the Michelin teams should be kicking Michelin from one end of the country to the other end for putting them into such a situation, letting them down with poor tyres, threatening their championship points and all other losses and embarrasment thier trye sponsor has caused them.
