'Mistaken' McLaren will not appeal FIA decision
Thursday 2nd April 2009
McLaren have decided against appealing the decision to throw both the team and Lewis Hamilton out of last Sunday's Australian GP.
In the wake of Thursday's FIA hearing in Malaysia, it was announced that McLaren and Hamilton were to be excluded from the race results, thereby costing the team six World Championship points.
According to a statement from the FIA, McLaren and Hamilton had acted in a "manner prejudicial to the conduct of the event by providing evidence deliberately misleading to the Stewards at the hearing on Sunday 29th March 2009."
And although McLaren won't be appealing the decision, the team says they in no way meant to mislead the FIA but rather made a 'mistake'.
