The FIA Contract Recognition Board (CRB) is a body set up by motorsports governing body, the FIA, to determine the legality of driver contracts and to settle disputes between Formula One teams over such contracts.[1] The CRB meets in Geneva, Switzerland and is made up of independent lawyers who are considered to be suitably experienced in the law of contract.[2] It aims to decide disputes in a few days, rather than the extended periods a court of law would take.[3]
The CRB was formed after Michael Schumacher signed to drive for the Benetton team in 1991, despite having agreed to discuss a contract with the Jordan team.[4]
