But from what I've read, the stewards said nothing of the sort. McLaren said that the FIA told them their opinion, but that the stewards still had the power for the final call.

EDIT: now that i think about it, the stewards must be sanctioned by the FIA, so they could be one in the same thing. I guess I was never clear on who they asked in the FIA. From what I read, everyone said that the FIA gave them the okay, but it was no mention if they meant the stewards or not.
