F1 teams 'ready to boycott races'
Formula One teams could boycott future races if they get severe penalties for their role in the US Grand Prix fiasco, Minardi boss Paul Stoddart said.

Stoddart told BBC Radio Five Live it would be wrong for F1's governing body the FIA to hand out "draconian bans" at Wednesday's disciplinary hearing.

"In the worst possible situation of some kind of draconian penalty, would the other teams race?" Stoddart said.

"I think we'd have a meeting and you wouldn't guarantee it."

I don't threats will go over well with the FIA governing body.
