F-1 teams threaten to boycott European races

LONDON, JAN. 20 Formula One team bosses have warned they could boycott races in Europe over new European Union (EU) regulations relating to deaths of drivers.

Team chiefs want guarantees from governments that they will be exempt from arrest warrants in the event of fatalities.

``This is a matter of serious concern,'' FIA president Max Mosley said on the BBC website. ``We will continue to talk with the various EU governments and the European Commission to try and resolve it.'' Teams fear a repeat of the marathon on-going legal process following the death of Brazil's Ayrton Senna at the San Marino GP in Imola, Italy, almost a decade ago.
