FIA inspectors visit McLaren

9th November 2007

The FIA has confirmed that a team of inspectors operating on its behalf have visited the Woking, UK headquarters of the McLaren-Mercedes Formula One team to begin an examination of the design of the team’s 2008 F1 car.

In September the McLaren team was fined $100m (£47.5m) and forfeited their points in the F1 Constructors World Championship points after the were found guilty of being in possession of confidential information on the rival Ferraris team’s 2007 car. The FIA inspectors visit to McLaren was made to determine whether any Ferrari intellectual property had been incorporated into the 2008 McLaren design.

According to a BBC news report an FIA spokesman said It had initially been planned that any evidence found during the visit would be presented to the meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in Monaco December 7 but it was not certain that a report would be ready by that date.
