McLaren have informed the FIA of their intent to appeal the stewards' decision not to penalise the BMW and Williams teams.
A report from Jo Bauer, the FIA technical delegate, stated that temperatures of fuel samples taken from both cars of each team were outside the regulations.
Article 6.5.5 of the Formula One technical regulations states: "No fuel on board the car may be more than ten degrees centigrade below ambient temperature."
The International Court of Appeal would have to accept the appeal, and then a date would be set. If then, should the Court of Appeal overturn the stewards' decision and disqualify the BMW and Williams drivers, the new results would elevate Lewis Hamilton to fourth. This would give him enough points to beat Kimi Raikkonen and take the championship.
