McLaren appeal over team points loss

McLaren are appealing against the team's loss of points in the F1 constructors' championship at last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton won the race and team-mate Fernando Alonso came fourth in Budapest on Sunday, but the 15 points for the constructors' title were not awarded to McLaren due to a controversy in qualifying on Saturday.

Alonso had initially taken pole position but only after the Spaniard blocked Hamilton in the pit-lane, denying the British driver a chance to set a faster lap at the end of the session.

Alonso was relegated to sixth place on the grid, Hamilton was promoted to pole and the team were barred from scoring points other than in the drivers' championship.
