In what some might call a case of the pot calling the kettle black, the FIA has condemned the leaking of extracts from Flavio Briatore's statement ahead of the forthcoming hearing at the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris.

A brief statement issued by the FIA on Thursday afternoon read as follows:

"The FIA condemns the selective leaking of extracts from Mr Briatore's pleadings to the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris.

The FIA rejects the allegations made in these leaks and confirms that the decision to impose a sanction against Mr Briatore was made by an overwhelming majority of the attending World Motor Sport Council members.

In respect for the authority of the French Court, it would be entirely inappropriate for the FIA to comment further on this matter in advance of the hearing."
