The Ferrari Formula One team has said it is satisfied with McLaren's punishment after the World Motor Sport Council hearing from Thursday. McLaren received a 100 million dollar fine and will not score any points in the constructors' championship.

In a statement the Ferrari team said;
Ferrari acknowledges the decision of the FIA to sanction Vodafone McLaren Mercedes for its breach of Article 151c of the International Sporting Code.
In light of new evidence, facts and behaviour of an extremely serious nature and grossly prejudicial to the interest of the sport have been further demonstrated.
Ferrari is satisfied that the truth has now emerged.
