F1: We Didn’t Push for Large Penalty, Says Whitmarsh
Written by: Adam Cooper, RACER Magazine Monte Carlo, Monaco – 12/6/2007

McLaren’s Martin Whitmarsh insists that the team did not push for the World Motor Sport Council to impose a large penalty on Renault. Nevertheless the team is clearly disappointed by the lack of any sanction against the team, despite the fact that the WMSC decision mirrored the verdict in the initial McLaren hearing back in July.

Whitmarsh declined to comment in detail as the WMSC has yet to reveal its thinking.

Speaking to SpeedTV.com as he left the hearing, Whitmarsh said, “The reasoning of the World Motor Sport Council hasn’t been disclosed, and won’t be until tomorrow as I understand. We’ve been given the ruling but haven’t been give the reasons why. It’s inappropriate to make a comment about it

‘We positively urged that there shouldn’t be a large penalty, despite what we think is the seriousness of it.”

Sources suggest that McLaren’s case was seriously weakened by a press briefing given on its behalf by its future PR boss, Matt Bishop. Although he is still a journalist and does not join the team until January, Bishop recently syndicated an e-mail to selected Internet and newspaper journalists outlining McLaren’s side of the story, with details about how much information was involved and who within Renault had seen it.

Some of that information proved to be inaccurate, notably the number of drawings involved, which has now been confirmed as four. At the behest of the FIA last night the team issued a clarification of certain points, although Bishop was not named as the journalist concerned. The contents of the briefing were discussed extensively in the hearing.

Flavio Briatore has made no secret of the fact that his team might consider legal action in response, and the fact that Renault has been found not guilty of using that information to improve its car would seem lend weight to his cas
