Please find below quotes of Norbert Haug, Vice President Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, concerning today’s verdict of the FIA World Motorsport Council:

“Our Team has co-operated and communicated with the responsible FIA authorities in a very frank and open way. The World Motor Sport Council has taken this into consideration and rated positively.

This issue is now behind us, now the sport instead of the politics is in the foreground – this is what the spectators like much better and honestly I like it much, much better.

A fair verdict and  I want to thank all members of the World Motor Sport Council for their balanced view on the case and the respective procedure.

What concerns the suspension I have no concerns – we will handle issues of that kind with the utmost precision and cautiousness and not make any mistakes.”
