No secrecy in Paris courtroom
Schumacher's title chances depend largely on the Paris hearing
Williams's August 19th hearing at the FIA International Court of Appeal is to be televised.
Formula One Management has arranged for the appeal to be filmed by German television station RTL. It is the first time the cameras will be allowed inside the court in Paris, which is the highest court of appeal in motorsport.
The appeal is against the decision to dock Ralf Schumacher 10 grid positions in the Hungarian Grand Prix as punishment for his role in the first-corner accident at the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim. Schumacher claims it was a racing incident.
FIA president Max Mosley has previously circulated the idea of televising drivers' briefings, though this has not come to fruition. But with the pitlanes to open to the public in Hungary and the USA this year, there are some signs that F1's 'secret' areas may be slowly opening up.

This is a good thing, for too many years now there has always been a secret world of F1. Now the FIA are beginning to allow us into that world and hear what actually does go on and what is said. I realise of course we will never actually see all of the behind the scenes meetings, but this is defintly a step in the right direction.
