McLaren has this morning (Sunday) issued the following statement in respect of some of the media reports that have appeared overnight:
McLaren did receive some contact from the Italian authorities yesterday but was not charged with anything. We strongly suspect that the nature and timing of this wholly unnecessary contact, just before the start of qualifying, was to disrupt our preparation for this important session and Thursday's World Motor Sport Council hearing.
McLaren is completely confident that were any proceedings of this type ever to be brought we would be completely exonerated.
