The FIA have already inspected the car, and if they felt the need to inspect it again right before the season started then surely that would have been because they felt there was something amiss with it. McLaren coming out and admitting they made mistakes and apologising for them wouldn't alter the design behind the car. So if the FIA had a genuine need to look at the car again, how can they now simply dismiss that need out of hand? I think it's safe to surmise they had no real need to see the car again, and just wanted to keep McLaren on their toes until the last possible moment.
