FIA publishes e-mails in McLaren spy case

Formula One's governing body published e-mails between McLaren drivers on Friday that it said proved the team had made use of information leaked from title rivals Ferrari.

McLaren were stripped of their 2007 constructors' points on Thursday and fined a record $100 million after a hearing into a spying controversy. The decision effectively handed that championship to Ferrari.

However, drivers' championship leader Lewis Hamilton and McLaren team mate Fernando Alonso, were allowed to keep their points after the FIA wrote to them offering an immunity in return for providing evidence.
