PARIS (AP) - Jenson Button's BAR-Honda team should be thrown out of the Formula One championship because it raced an underweight car at the San Marino Grand Prix, a top official from the sport's governing body said Wednesday.
BAR-Honda representatives appeared before an appeals body to explain why Button's car ran under the minimum 1,322-pound weight at Imola last month. FIA general secretary Pierre de Coninck said the team should also be fined $1.29 million in addition to the suspension.
A decision is expected Thursday. The appeals panel could also deliver a lesser penalty to strip Button of six points.
