McLaren face FIA 'lying' inquiry - BBC

Wow this just keeps getting better. I wonder if Mclaren will ever get a year with out controversy ?

McLaren will appear before Formula 1's governing body, the FIA, on 29 April to answer charges relating to a breach of the International Sporting Code.
McLaren were found guilty of misleading race stewards following the Australian Grand Prix, which led to Lewis Hamilton being disqualified from the race.
Hamilton was awarded third place before being stripped of his points.
The FIA will hold the extraordinary meeting in Paris where McLaren will be expected to be present.
"McLaren acknowledge receipt of an invitation to appear at an FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in Paris on April 29, received this (Tuesday) afternoon," said a McLaren statement.
"We undertake to co-operate fully with all WMSC processes, and welcome the opportunity to work with the FIA in the best interests of Formula 1.
The FIA said McLaren knew it was lying when it told race officials that it had not given Hamilton instructions to let Toyota's Jarno Trulli overtake while the pair were behind the safety car.
The FIA also claimed that McLaren had made no attempt to rectify its evidence under scrutiny.
The World Council is the body which disqualified McLaren from the constructors' championship and fined them $100m (£67m) for their role in a spy scandal involving Ferrari in 2007.
There is no limit to the action it could take in this instance if it deemed it serious enough.
Hamilton, who issued an emotional public apology after the incident, is expected to escape further censure.
The world champion has said he was ordered to give misleading evidence by sporting director Dave Ryan, who was with him at the hearings.
