Ferrari has clinched the 2007 constructors’ title following McLaren’s decision not to appeal the penalty imposed on it in the espionage case.
The FIA World Motor Sport Council threw the British team out of the constructors’ contest in its September 13 ruling, a sentence which McLaren has now accepted.
Ferrari has acknowledged the decision and vowed to focus all its efforts on winning the drivers’ title.
“Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro has won the 2007 Formula 1 constructors’ world championship, taking its tally in this competition to 15, seven of them in the last nine years,” the Italian squad said in a statement.
“Ferrari will now invest all its efforts over the final three races of this championship in trying to also win the drivers’ world title.”
Ferrari has only an outside chance of achieving a title double.
Kimi Raikkonen currently trails McLaren’s championship leader Lewis Hamilton by 13 points with thee races remaining and 30 points still up for grabs.
Felipe Massa is a further seven points adrift.
