McLaren facing more sanctions over Australian GP deception

McLAREN face being hauled before the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) for the third time in under two years following their deception in the furore surrounding the Australian Grand Prix.

Sporting director Dave Ryan was yesterday made the sacrificial lamb by the team as he has been suspended for deliberately misleading race stewards investigating the chaos that unfolded last Sunday.

Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton, initially complicit in the scandal that resulted in him being excluded from the classification at Albert Park, yesterday expressed his sincere apologies.
