"FIA correctly believes that Ferrari, the injured party in the affair, must enjoy all the rights of one party in a trial. This was not the case in the World Council hearing," ANSA quoted the spokesman as saying.
The first hearing accepted McLaren''s argument that the leaking of Ferrari information boiled down to a case of one rogue employee illegitimately acquiring information for his own purposes.
If Ferrari can prove its claims that several top McLaren officials were aware of the Ferrari information for a number of months, the earlier ruling by the FIA World Council could be overturned.
McLaren risks being thrown out of the 2007 championship, and possibly next year''s also if the FIA appeals panel finds it guilty of fraudulent behavior.
