Vodafone McLaren Mercedes response to FIA claims 

McLaren have responded to the news that the FIA has found new evidence in the spy case by saying they will continue to co-operate with the governing body. The FIA said on Wednesday it had received new evidence relating to the spying controversy involving the British squad and Ferrari.

The governing body announced its World Motor Sport Council had been reconvened for a hearing in Paris on September 13 following the cancellation of the appeal hearing originally scheduled for that day. McLaren said they have been made aware of the news, and that they would continue to co-operate with the FIA.

“McLaren Racing has been made aware that new evidence has been presented to the FIA as part of their on-going investigation,” said the team in a statement. As a result we have been informed that the Court of Appeal Hearing scheduled for the 13th September in Paris will now comprise a meeting of the WMSC. McLaren will continue to co-operate fully with the FIA.”
