More inconsistency from the FIA

    The FIA has announced that the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) has agreed to cancel next year's hearing into the report on McLaren’s 2008 car. The meeting had been scheduled to take place on February 14, 2008.

    Last week, McLaren admitted that leaked Ferrari data had been more widely disseminated within the team than they had previously thought and publicly apologised. In the statement, the squad also promised to suspend development of systems on their 2008 machine that might have been inspired by the Italian team’s confidential information.

    As a result, FIA President Max Mosley asked members of the WMSC for their consent to cancel the hearing and draw a line under the matter.

    The fact that McLaren have admitted it now, is more of a reason to investigate their 2008 car (MP4-23). Instead they're going to cancel the investigation and take their word that they are not develop the Ferrari systems.
    This is more evidence of inconsistency from the FIA who clearly are willing to overlook the rules and regulations for sake of popularity.
    In the short run that is fine as F1 ratings need the Hamilton effect at the moment. In long run however this behaviour could be very detrimental.
    It sure will be interesting to see how the Mclari does next year.
