Yesterday, former Formula One world champion Sir Jackie Stewart accused FIA of witch-hunting the McLaren-Mercedes team.

According to Stewart, Formula One power people are more aligned to Ferrari than any other team.

Yes, it is true that historically FIA has been quite close to Ferrari. Nobody argues that the Ferrari-McLaren spy case is having extremely negative effects on the sport. Moreover, not only this season may get ruined, but the next season as well. After all, Formula One without the British-German team is a way less interesting. But we, passionate Formula One fans have a right to know the truth. This was clearly conveyed by Ferrari boss Jean Todt, speaking at Monza at the weekend. "It’s a taint on the sport. I think that we are sorry that it is happening in Formula 1, but we want the truth to appear." Mr. Todt, We all want the truth to appear once and for all.

It will be extremely unfortunate if McLaren's championship leader Lewis Hamilton's dream gets wrecked because of the scandal. But on the other hand, if the McLaren has even slightly benefited from possessing Ferrari's confidential material, then it would be extremely unfair if Rod Dennis team gets away unpunished.
