 Race stewards penalized Hamilton 25 seconds for cutting across a chicane to overtake then-leader Kimi Raikkonen during the closing stages of the race.
McLaren's appeal was announced Tuesday by McLaren chief executive Martin Whitmarsh.
Hamilton was demoted to third place and Felipe Massa of Ferrari wound up the winner on Sunday.
Hamilton's championship lead over Massa was cut to two points.
