"The FIA International Court of Appeal met in London on Thursday, November 15,
2007, to examine an appeal lodged by the Motor Sports Association (MSA) on
behalf of its licence-holder Vodafone McLaren Mercedes against the decision
(document 41) of the Panel of the Stewards of the 2007 Brazilian Grand Prix
dated 21 October 2007 and counting towards the 2007 FIA Formula One World
Championship.
"Following a report from the Technical Delegate indicating
that the temperature of fuel pumped into the cars N°9 - Nick Heidfeld, N°10 -
Robert Kubica, N°16 - Nico Rosberg and N°17 - Kazuki Nakajima, was more than 10
degrees centigrade below ambient temperature, the Stewards of the Meeting met to
consider whether a penalty should be imposed. Having heard the evidence they
decided not to impose a penalty as they had sufficient doubt as to both the
temperature of the fuel on board the car and to the true ambient temperature.
"Having heard the explanations of both parties and having examined the
various documents and other evidence, the Court decided that the appeal lodged
by Vodafone McLaren Mercedes is inadmissible.
"The International Court
of Appeal was presided over by Mr Jan STOVICEK (Czech Republic), elected
President, and composed of Mr John CASSIDY (United States), Mr Vassilis KOUSSIS
(Greece) and Mr José MACEDO e CUNHA (Portugal).
"The full text of the
International Court of Appeal’s decision is available, on request, from the
secretariat of the FIA International Court of Appeal in Paris."
