Rome : Ferrari has lauded the FIA for their "sensible" decision to refer the spying controversy to its Court of Appeal.
Italian Automobile Federation president Luigi Macaluso sent a letter to the president of the sport's governing body Max Mosley requesting that the "spy" saga goes to the Court of Appeal.
Mosley agreed to the request despite the World Motorsport Council's verdict which found McLaren not guilty.
The Italian team has welcomed Mosley's decision.
"Ferrari finds the decision of the FIA President to be sensible," said a Ferrari statement.
"The FIA has correctly found that Ferrari, as interested party, must enjoy all the rights of a party in a trial, which is what didn't happen in the WMSC hearing."
An FIA spokesman said the hearing was likely to be in Paris at the end of August.
