Formula One team Williams's appeal against a decision by stewards to blame Ralf Schumacher for a multiple collision at last weekend's German Grand Prix will be heard next Tuesday, the sport's governing body has said.

Williams are hoping to overturn the decision which, as it stands, means Schumacher will have to drop 10 positions from his qualifying spot at the start of his next race, the Hungarian Grand Prix on August 24.

The team and Schumacher said they did not believe the German driver was exclusively to blame for the collision on the first lap that led to six cars crashing out.

The hearing will be held in Paris, the FIA said on Tuesday, and the decision will be announced in a week's time.
