Racing´s World Motor Sport Council are to meet in Monaco to make a decision on McLaren three months after handing out the largest financial penalty in sport. September´s WMSC hearing in Paris found McLaren guilty of fraudulent behaviour. The team were in unauthorised possession of technical info that belonged to Ferrari. McLaren were hammered with an eye-watering £50million fine and were stripped of all their constructors points for 2007 racing season. At that meeting the WMSC promised that a full technical report on the 2008 McLaren car would also be implemented to make sure no Ferrari info will be present on the 2008 model. FIA inspectors have been conducting out a thorough investigation of the team's Surrey headquarters. McLaren bigwigs will be sweating because if it is found that they have incorporated design ideas derived from Ferrari the WMSC will almost certainly inflict more punishments. One of the most serious sanctions could see the team ejected from the 2008 season Another might see them start the season with a minus points deficit.
