BAR Honda is looking for safer options to compete at Monaco.

BAR said on Friday it would not launch a legal challenge to its two-race ban by Formula One's ruling body for breaking weight and fuel regulations.

"Upon receiving the best legal advice, in all relevant jurisdictions, the conclusion is that nothing can be done to enable the team to race this weekend," BAR said in a statement.

"BAR Honda has considered whether to pursue further action which might enable it to compete at Monaco.

"On balance, the team has decided that to challenge the sport's governing body would cause a level of disruption and damage to the sport which would not serve the best interests of everyone involved."
