Before the weekends race at Monza, Lewis Hamilton seemed to enter into a reflective outlook, with all the controversy of the Ferrari-Mclaren debacle coming to a head this Thursday in Paris.

”.. when you really think about that, you think to yourself ‘wow I could be out of a job next weekend’. Then what happens?” Hamilton reflected.
”It was just going so well and then this big knife cuts off your blood line.”

But he is fully aware that he needs to focus on the races and leave the espionage row to his boss Ron Dennis.

Bernie Ecclestone is part of the 26 man council that will judge the outcome this Thursday and he has advised Hamilton to keep quiet about the issue and focus on his driving, he feels genuinely sorry for Lewis being dragged into this.

Its been said Ecclestone allegedly tried to get the Paris hearing called off in the Monza paddock, however he has also made clear that the rules are there for a reason and when they are broken, the drivers can always be seen to have an unfair advantage.

“I’m not comfortable with any of it, to be truthful. But, in the end, you need to do these things. Let’s just say, for an example, somebody was found running a 3.5-litre engine — it would obviously be a big advantage.

“Should we turn our heads and say ‘well, you know, that’s how it is, there’s not much you can do about it’ and walk away? Then the next time somebody would say ‘I’m going to run a 4-litre engine’ and it will go on.

“The thing is: What information was given, was it used and was it used to advantage? That’s what we have to look at.”
