- MISSING FROM FISA LI 1/4
-
- World champions Williams have not
- appeared among the list of entries
- for this year's Formula One series.
-
- FISA, the sport's ruling body, gave
- a list of 26 cars entered by the
- deadline but did not rule out a
- late entry by the British team.
-
- This would require agreement from
- all competing teams and a report on
- French radio indicated that three
- had already refused to approve a
- late application from Williams.
-
- Williams won 10 out of 16 GP races
- last season to easily win the title
- Frank Williams is blaming two rival
- teams for preventing his Formula
- One outfit from being included in
- the 1993 championship entry list.
-
- Because Williams entry was made one
- day after the deadline it failed to
- go through automatically.
-
- Under the rules all the other teams
- approval was needed.
-
- Williams said: "Two teams have
- refused to sign in order to obtain
- concessions from Williams involving
- limiting Formula One technology."
