An appeals court of FIA, Formula 1''s governing body, is to review the controversial ruling by a FIA panel which last week let McLaren off the spying charges, Italian news agency ANSA reported Tuesday.
FIA President Max Mosely said the move was motivated by "the importance of public confidence in the outcome" of the dispute.
In its ruling last Thursday, the FIA World Council admitted McLaren had been in possession of Ferrari data but imposed no penalty, saying there was no evidence that the information had been exploited by the British team.
Ferrari officials were present at the hearing but only as observers and so could not present evidence. Formula 1 rules also prevented the Italian team from appealing the ruling.
A Ferrari official described the decision to hold an appeal hearing, in which both sides could participate, as "sensible".
