Following an emergency meeting of the Senate in Monaco, attended by McLaren boss Ron Dennis (representing the teams) and Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner, on Thursday, the FIA claimed new evidence brought forward absolved the teams of any guilt.

The FIA's statement, which followed the meeting, points the finger at tyre supplier Michelin, which instructed its teams not race.

The French company claims its tyres were unsafe to use during the race after a series of failures through practice at Turn 13.

The teams argued successfully on Thursday that they were legally bound to follow this instruction.
