Furious Ferrari to now sue McLaren
Following the World Motor Sport Council's controversial acquittal of Woking based McLaren last Thursday, a spokesman for Ferrari on Monday confirmed that FIA rules do not allow an appeal to be sought.
The spokesman told the BBC, however, that the Maranello based team – angry that its Ron Dennis-led title rival was not penalized for possessing secret Ferrari information – was "evaluating all possible options" in the wake of the Paris hearing.
La Gazzetta dello Sport is now reporting that Ferrari plan to submit a request for prosecution with the legal authorities in Modena.
The Italian sports daily said the six-page complaint would be lodged on Tuesday morning.
Ferrari is already pursuing legal action in Italy against sacked employee Nigel Stepney, and in England against suspended McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan for receiving the 780 pages of Ferrari secrets.
Ferrari would not confirm the news.
