Mclaren mengaku bahawa mereka menggunakan informasi Ferrari. Mereka pun meminta maaf kepada Ferrari, FIA dan sebagainya.

Ini ialah Full statement dari Mclaren:
As a result of the investigations carried out by the Fédération
Internationale de l'Automobile it has become clear that Ferrari
information was more widely disseminated within McLaren than was
previously communicated. McLaren greatly regrets that its own
investigations did not identify this material and has written to the
World Motor Sport Council to apologise for this.

McLaren has
written a letter to the FIA which in the interests of transparency it
is publishing with this press statement. That letter speaks for itself
and the sentiments expressed in it are sincerely held by McLaren.
McLaren has also written to the World Motor Sport Council to apologise
that it has taken an FIA investigation to find this information and
have expressed our deep regret that our understanding of the facts was
improved as a result of the FIA inspection rather than our own
investigations. McLaren has recognised that this entire situation could
have been avoided if we had informed Ferrari and the FIA about Nigel
Stepney's first communication when it came to our attention. We are, of
course, embarrassed by the successive disclosures and have apologised
unreservedly to the FIA World Motor Sport Council.

To avoid
even the possibility of Ferrari information influencing our performance
during 2008, McLaren has offered a set of detailed undertakings to the
FIA which will impose a moratorium on development in relation to three
separate systems. During the course of these incidents, McLaren has
conducted a thorough review of its policies and procedures regarding
the recruitment and management of staff. The proposals arising from
this thorough review have been disclosed to the FIA and McLaren has
agreed to demonstrate that all of these policies and procedures have
been fully implemented.

McLaren wish to make a public apology
to the FIA, Ferrari, the Formula 1 community and to Formula 1 fans
throughout the world and offer their assurance that changes are now
being made which will ensure that nothing comparable to what has taken
place will ever happen again. McLaren have also agreed to pay the costs
incurred by the FIA for their investigation.

McLaren now wishes to put these matters behind it and to move forward focusing on the 2008 season.
