McLaren wants to go forward in its appealing of the penalties awarded by the race stewards during last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.

The silver team was deemed ineligible to score constructors' points after Fernando Alonso held up teammate Lewis Hamilton in qualifying. In the end, Hamilton won the race and Alonso finished fourth, but the 15 points weren't added to McLaren's season total, even though the drivers scored normally. Alonso also lost his pole position, having been forced to start from sixth on the grid.

Even with the penalty, the Mercedes-powered outfit remains 19 points ahead of Ferrari in the constructors' championship.
