McLaren cleared of Monaco Grand Prix wrongdoing
McLaren motor racing team have been cleared of any offences following a probe into whether they illegally used team orders at the Monaco Grand Prix to influence the results of the race.
Governing body the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) that investigated the matter concluded that McLaren "did nothing which could be described as interfering with the race result".
McLaren had agreed that they had asked racing driver Lewis Hamilton not to challenge his team-mate Fernando Alonso and with regard to this the FIA ruled that McLaren's actions were "entirely legitimate and reasonable".
FIA also said: "McLaren were able to pursue an optimum team strategy because they had a substantial advantage over all other cars.
"They did nothing which could be described as interfering with the race result."
McLaren's Ron Dennis is reported to have said in a statement: "The efficient intervention and subsequent inquiry of the FIA into the allegations of the last three days has removed any doubt about the manner in which the team ran its cars during the 2007 Monaco Grand Prix."
