21 January 1997 Lawyer Roberto Causo has decided not to defend Frank Williams and the other members of the Williams team in the trial for the death of Ayrton Senna. This decision stems from the fact that Williams' line of defence is going to be to blame the death of Senna on the conditions of the track at Imola. This means that the Williams team will be accusing Belgian Roland Bruynseraede, who approved the track on behalf of FIA. Roberto Causo also is the lawyer of Bruynseraede, therefore he cannot be Williams' lawyer at the same time. Williams has already nominated Oreste Dominioni as new lawyer.
