The Michelin teams Renault, McLaren, Williams, Toyota, Sauber, Red Bull and BAR-Honda were initially found guilty of two charges of bringing the sport into disrepute.

On June 29 in Paris, the FIA world motorsport council found them guilty of failing to ensure a supply of safe tyres and of refusing to race using the pit lane.
