McLaren grateful for 'very fair hearing'
Wednesday 29th April 2009

An apologetic McLaren had nothing but praise for the FIA's World Motor Sport Council after they were handed a suspended race ban in the "Liargate" scandal.

McLaren received a suspended three-race ban after the team pleaded guilty on all five counts of breaching the International Sporting Code during the hearing on Wednesday.

Team principal Martin Whitmarsh expressed his gratitude to the organisation after the hearing and also promised that McLaren would ensure that the "such mistakes do not occur again".

"I would like to thank the FIA World Motor Sport Council members for affording me the opportunity to answer their questions this morning," he said.

"We are aware that we made serious mistakes in Australia and Malaysia, and I was therefore very glad to be able to apologise for those mistakes once again.

"I was also pleased to be able to assure the FIA World Motor Sport Council members that we had taken appropriate action with a view to ensuring that such mistakes do not occur again."

A statement issued by the team said: 'McLaren accepts the FIA World Motor Sport Council's decision and wishes to thank the FIA World Motor Sport Council members for the very fair hearing they have given us this morning.

'We now look forward with enthusiasm to continuing our efforts to develop a closer and more co-operative relationship between ourselves and the FIA.

'We will also continue to focus our efforts on closing the performance gap that exists between our car and the fastest cars.'

'Following Lewis Hamilton's encouraging fourth place in Bahrain last Sunday, we are now optimistic that we will be able to play an increasingly competitive part in what is fast developing into a very exciting season of Formula 1 motor racing.'

They'll be under surveillance one year long. The three-race penalty will only be applied if Macca does something wrong again during this period (in addition to the normal penalty).

I think the decisive argument was Dr. Z. clearly saying that if the penalty is not fair, Daimler would go out of F1.

So the FIA did handle them very gently, especially after Daimler proved they were serious about that by pushing Ron Dennis aside...

They better stop their crap behaviour, a three race ban would have been fair.
