Paris : McLaren has escaped any immediate penalty after a disciplinary hearing into how they came to be in possession of confidential Ferrari documents.
McLaren suspended chief designer Mike Coughlan after a 780-page technical dossier was found at his home, reports BBC.
But the World Motorsport Council said there was "insufficient evidence" that it had affected this year's championship.
McLaren still face a championship ban if they are seen in the future to have gained any advantage from the data.
McLaren team chief Ron Dennis' immediate reaction was that he was "not completely comfortable with the outcome but the punishment fits the crime", and that a formal comment from the team would come later.
