The FIA agrees to end McLaren spy probe

The World Motor Sport Council has rubber-stamped FIA President Max Mosley’s request to finally end the McLaren-Ferrari espionage affair.

A short statement issued by the Paris body on Tuesday confirmed that the Mercedes-powered team is no longer required to face a hearing in mid-February to consider the 2008 car’s legality.

The news follows what the British press described as a “grovelling” apology by McLaren last Friday, including an undertaking to freeze certain aspects of development of the MP4-23.

Mosley had said that the matter should now be closed “in the interests of the sport”.

FIA statement:

“Further to the proposal of the FIA President, the World Motor Sport Council has agreed to cancel the hearing scheduled for February 14, 2008.”
