The FIA World Motor Sport Council met in Paris on 26 July 1994 under the
presidency of Max Mosley, President of the FIA, to consider the report
of the FIA Observer at the 1994 British Grand Prix and to decide whether
any, or any further penalty should be imposed against the drivers of
cars #0, 5, 7, and 14, or their respective teams, and against the Clerk
of the Course, Mr. Pierre Aumonier.

After hearing the defence of all relevant parties, the World Motor Sport
Council decided the following:

1. To impose a penalty of one race suspension on the driver of car #7 (Mika
   Hakkinen) for breach of Article 118 and Article 66 of the Formula One
   Sporting Regulations. In consideration of extenuating circumstances,
   the penalty is suspended for three races and will only be applied if
   a breach of the same part of the Formula One Sporting Regulations is
   made by Mr. Mika Hakkinen during that period.

2. To impose a penalty of one race suspension on the driver of car #14
   (Rubens Barrichello) for breach of Article 118 and Article 66 of the
   Formula One Sporting Regulations. In consideration of extenuating
   circumstances, the penalty is suspended for three races and will only
   be applied if a breach of the same part of the Formula One Sporting
   Regulations is made by Mr. Rubens Barrichello during that period.

3. To acquit the driver of car #0 (Damon Hill).  Mr. Hill was able to show
   that he slowed but did not stop and therefore did not breach Article
   151 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

4. To exclude Benetton Formula Ltd. from the results of the 1994 British
   Grand Prix and impose a fine of 500,000 US$ for failing on several
   occasions to obey the instructions of the officials of the 1994
   British Grand Prix. This penalty cancels and replaces the one imposed
   by the Stewards at the British Grand Prix.

5. To exclude the driver of car #5 (M. Schumacher) from the results of the
   British Grand Prix and impose on him a suspension of two races for non-
   observation of the black flag of the British Grand Prix.

   Both Benetton Formula Ltd. and Mr. Schumacher have the right to appeal
   in front of the International Court of Appeal of the FIA through their
   respective National Sporting Authorities. If Michael Schumacher appeals,
   he will be allowed to race and to score full points until the appeal is
   heard.

6. The FIA World Motor Sport Council also found that the Clerk of the Course,
   Mr. Pierre Aumonider (Great Britain) failed in his duties with regard
   to various points. The FIA World Motor Sport Council decided to impose
   a suspension of one year of the super licence of Mr.  Pierre Aumonier.
   The World Motor Sport Council also asked the Royal Automobile Club Motor
   Sport Association to conduct a full investigation into the organisation
   of the 1994 British Grand Prix and implement the necessary measures to
   avoid the occurrence of such incidents in the future.

The FIA World Motor Sport Council also considered the report of the FIA
Formula One Technical Delegate in respect of the electronic systems used
on car #5 (Michael Schumacher) at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

After hearing the representatives of Benetton Formula Ltd., the World
Motor Sport Council reached the conclusion that, in common with the
other two teams, Benetton's computer system contained a facility capable
of breaching the regulations. In the absence of any evidence that the
device was used and certain evidence that it was not, the World Council
imposed no penalty involving the results of the event.

The World Council imposed a fine of 100,000 US$ on Benetton Formula Ltd
for failing to make their computer source codes available immediately.
An identical fine was imposed on McLaren for the same reason subject to
McLaren's right to demand a hearing in October.
