MOTOR RACING: WILLIAMS   
MISSING FROM FISA LI 1/4
 
 World champions Williams have not   
 appeared among the list of entries  
 for this year's Formula One series. 
                                     
 FISA, the sport's ruling body, gave 
 a list of 26 cars entered by the    
 deadline but did not rule out a     
 late entry by the British team.     
                                     
 This would require agreement from   
 all competing teams and a report on 
 French radio indicated that three   
 had already refused to approve a    
 late application from Williams.     
                                     
 Williams won 10 out of 16 GP races  
 last season to easily win the title 
 Frank Williams is blaming two rival 
 teams for preventing his Formula    
 One outfit from being included in   
 the 1993 championship entry list.   
                                     
 Because Williams entry was made one 
 day after the deadline it failed to 
 go through automatically.           
                                     
 Under the rules all the other teams 
 approval was needed.                
                                     
 Williams said: "Two teams have      
 refused to sign in order to obtain  
 concessions from Williams involving 
 limiting Formula One technology."
