The rumour mill has been churning out news of Renault preparing a new Clio Williams. Ever since Renault signed a new contract with the Williams Formula One team to supply them with engines, many hoped that the French automaker would release a new version of the ever popular hot hatch. The original Renault Clio Williams was released in 1993 and it was said that the car was launched to celebrate Nigel Mansell

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has urged Sir Frank Williams to bring Kimi Raikkonen back to Formula One. Williams has described as "a lot of supposition" suggestions Raikkonen will be driving for his team next season, although it has emerged talks have taken place with the Finn. Whitmarsh said: "I wouldn't ordinarily presume to advise Sir Frank on who he should sign, but I think it would be exciting if he did." The question for Williams is whether they can afford the 2007 world champion who, in his time at Ferrari before spending the last two years in rallying, was reported to be earning

Williams and Jenson Button have announced that while they're disappointed that the CRB has ruled in BAR's favour, they will accept the decision. After two months of wrangling, the CRB ruled on Wednesday that only BAR held a valid contract for Jenson's services in 2005. The decision left Williams disappointed - and a driver short for next season. "Naturally we are disappointed with the CRB's conclusion. We took the view that Jenson was a driver worth challenging for, and based on strong legal advice, we have no regrets about making a bid for his services," said Frank Williams. "The CRB accepted a significant number of the team's arguments, but nevertheless found against us. We do not believe any further legal action in relation to this matter to be in the broader interests of the sport. In spite of the CRB's conclusion, which relates to 2005, we will maintain our close relationship with Jenson for 2006." Those sentiments were echoed by Jenson himself, and it seems that he too is determined to link-up with the Grove team in 2006. "Naturally, I am disappointed by the ruling, but as a matter of principle, I firmly believe in standing by the decision the CRB have reached today," said Jenson. "BAR have been extremely professional at the race track during this process, and I expect this to continue. I look forward to joining the BMW WilliamsF1 Team in the future." Williams also added that an announcement on who will be Mark Webber's team-mate next season would be made in due "course".

Your thoughts on the episode? For those who didn't know, here's a recap: 5 Aug: 24-year-old Jenson Button has signed a contract to drive for Williams-BMW in 2005 and 2006. Button became Britain's youngest driver to race in Formula 1, when he competed in the Australian GP in 2000. Button said, "I am very pleased that I had the option to re-join the BMW WilliamsF1 Team where my Formula One career started. For the meantime, the 2004 season has my full focus and attention. Beyond this, I have every confidence that the massive investment in resources and the depth of talent at WilliamsF1 and BMW provides the best platform for my future ambitions to be a World Champion." The British driver is currently third in the World Drivers' Championship with BAR-Honda, but has decided to quit the team and will return to the team where he began his F1 career in 2000. With both Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher moving on from Williams at the end of the season, Williams has been looking to fill both seats for the 2005 season. At the German GP the team announced the signing of Australian Mark Webber, and now the team lineup is set with the signing of Button. Frank Williams said, "There has been a long-term relationship between the BMW WilliamsF1 Team and Jenson, indeed his Formula One career started with the team in 2000. We have maintained that relationship until the present day, and I am delighted that one of the most talented drivers in Formula One has accepted the opportunity to return to the team." 6 Aug: BAR has issued a statement making it clear that it believes that Jenson Button is under contract for 2005. "Jenson is under contract with BAR for 2005," says team boss David Richards, "since we took up an option on his services only last month. At no time during the last few months has Jenson expressed anything other than his desire to continue working with BAR to achieve our collective goal of winning the World Championship". At the German Grand Prix Honda confirmed its long-term commitment to BAR announcing the extension of their existing contract to at least 2007, with an even greater commitment of engineering resources. 9 Aug: A great deal of rubbish is currently being said and written about Jenson Button's decision to switch from BAR-Honda to BMW Williams next season. BAR may have tried to claim the moral high ground by claiming that Button is breaking a contract but this has yet to be proven. If the matter does go to the FIA Contract Recognition Board and Button loses he could go back to BAR-Honda next year. It is hard to imagine that the relationship will be a happy one but it has happened before not least when the Board refused David Coulthard the right to leave Williams to join McLaren back in 1994 and was forced to stay with Williams in 1995. At the end of the year he moved to the Woking team. Under European law, one cannot force someone to work if they do not wish to do that job and so Button could go to Williams anyway although in this case a financial settlement would need to be found. Clearly, however, Williams has taken legal advice and this has indicated that the team is within its rights to sign Button. If this legal opinion is upheld by the Contract Recognition Board Button will join Williams and that will be the end of the matter unless BAR wants to prolong the whole thing and move on from there to a civil action. The team could do this but that would take several months and the team would no be able to sign a replacement for Button in the interim because of its claim. There is no obvious way in which the Briton will be in any danger of any licence suspension or not being allowed to race. If the switch was happening at the next race there might be the possibility of an injunction but that is clearly not the case in this dispute. If BAR decides to drop Button now, it will seriously undermine its own case (not to mention its World Championship hopes) and so this is not really a viable option unless the team decides to give up and let Button go to Williams. In that case Button would probably be able to sue the team for breach of contract. "Their track record of 11 F1 World Championships clearly places them in an outstanding position to provide the resources to take the team and Jenson to the very top," the team said in the statement. "It is our intention to enforce our current contractual position with Jenson," Richards said. "My duty is to the 400-strong workforce which has worked tirelessly over the past two seasons to give Jenson the car he has today; and to our partners, whose unfailing support and commitment to the team has contributed to the solid structure we now have in place. Unfortunately this is now a matter for the lawyers and I have every confidence that the legal process will confirm that yesterday's announcement has not only been premature but also invalid". 11 Aug: British American Racing says that the dispute between Jenson Button and the team over the English driver's contract with Williams for 2005 and 2006 cannot go beyond the Contract Recognition Board. They argue that the Concorde Agreement signatories accept decisions made by the CRB and that there is a precedent in the 1999 case of Pedro Diniz versus Arrows in which the team tried to argue that the case should go to the High Court in London but was overruled. The BAR team does however accept that there can be legal actions related to compensation if the teams do not agree with the CRB decision. The team has enlisted the help of sports lawyer Mark Gay, the leading expert in sports law in England and Gavin Kealey QC, a barrister who specializes in commercial law and international arbitration. This will guarantee that whatever happens the team is going to have a very painful legal bill. The details of the dispute continue to leak out with the latest suggestion being that the dispute is based on the difference the terms "will" and "intend to" in the agreement between BAR and Honda. Button's option was dependent on Honda delivering BAR with competitive engines. Button's lawyers are believed to be arguing that intent is not the same as a straight commitment. all courtesy of www.grandprix.com

Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher got their first taste of the Williams FW26 on Monday when they completed the new car

The Monza F1 has just completed over the weekend and both Williams/McLaren were whitewashed. Montoya - DNF (suspension failure), Ralf - DNF (Engine blew up on the 5th lap) and Kimi - DNF ( engine blew up). Coulthard - missed out on points by coming in 7th. It's a Ferrari 1-2 for the 3rd consecutive race followed by, look at this, Irvine's Jaguar! After the great start by Ralf and Montoya, I thought that Monza might be their race. All this talk about the BMW POWER, with engines that revs up to 19000 rpm! How Monza's supposed to suit Williams with it's fast straights. The result was still a big zero. Montoya is the qualifying king (7 pole position ) but with no wins to his name this year. And those Michelins that's good for qualifying but cannot last the whole race. Williams and Michelin better go back to the drawing room and come back with a more reliable machine and better suited tyres next year or they are gonna be whitewashed again next season! And that's not gonna be good for F1! McLaren is on a slow and stready decline................... If they are not careful, Renault may beat them next year!
