"We understand that information has again been leaked into the media and consequently there is a desire for us to address the issues that relate to the meeting of the World Motorsport Council on Thursday September 13 where we intend to make a strong set of submissions.

"However our lawyers have advised us that as the case will be heard by the World Motor Sport Council on Thursday of next week that this is the appropriate forum for the matter to be discussed, and that the team and our drivers should make no further comment."

The team has asked the media to understand this position.
