After recent decisions to prevent two teams from succeeding in the 2005 F1 season a new revalation has thrown the sport into turmoil.

At first BAR were disqualified from two races, after Jensen Button's accent was deemed to be too "un-german". Now Toyota are facing the prospect of having all points won this season stripped from them after it was found that they Jarno Trulli had been using a "papaya" magic tree rather than the specification "forest fresh".

Today's stunning announcement revolves around a specific rule that has been brought to light by Max Mosley of the FIA.

It states that all cars eligable to score points must be "red".

Representatives of the teams affected by this rule claim that this isn't actually a rule, and that someone had just scribbled it into the document in biro.

The FIA has denied these allegations, a spokesman commenting "I don't know what you mean. Quick! Look over there! A badger with a gun!".

Ferrari have had a bad start to the season, and have yet to score a point after they accidentally entered a tricycle into the 2005 F1 world championship, their succes has also been hampered by the fitment of tyres made out of onions.

Bridgestone have commented that this was the best they could come up with after Ferrari asked for a compound that would "reduce the opposition to tears".
