 Dec.7 (GMM) Max Mosley on Friday confirmed suspicions that McLaren has reason to be worried about its next trip to the World Motor Sport Council.
The FIA body in Monaco ruled that, following an investigation into the legality of the team's 2008 car, another detailed hearing should be held in mid February.
Mosley says McLaren is already aware of the FIA's concerns. "They were informed early on about our doubts," he said. "They will have had sufficient time to react should the doubt be confirmed." He also rebuked suggestions that the FIA is guilty of double standards in continuing to pursue McLaren but letting Renault off the hook for a similar case of spying. "McLaren was punished because they did not tell the truth on 26 July. It was stated that the information had flowed exclusively to Mike Coughlan. "Renault admitted from the outset that the information was discussed among a wider circle of engineers," Mosley explained. "I do not have a problem with Ron (Dennis)," he continued. "I just want to hear the truth if we have to solve an internal problem. "During the World Council meeting on 26 July I have the impression that he did not tell us the truth." |
