Mclaren Will Not Be Appealing For Hungary Points

Mclaren has withdrawn their appeal for the team points lost in the Hungarian Grand Prix.

During the qualifying session of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso was found guilty of impeding teammate Lewis Hamilton during the pitstop. The stewards thus punished Mclaren for this unsporting behaviour by not awarding them any points scored during the Grand Prix.

In view of their oust from the 2007 World Constructors' Championship, Mclaren has decided to drop the appeal in an attempt to seek closure for the matter after the spy espionage. However, it is reported that this decision might affect the $100 milion fine sanctioned by the FIA against Mclaren as the final sum of the fine is calculated based on the team's earnings from its final standings in the championship deducted from the $100 million.
