McLaren accuses Renault in new spy case
McLaren Technology Centre at Woking (Great Britain)
Sep.13 (GMM) McLaren has evidence against Renault of a separate case of possible espionage, according to reports.
The FIA this week confirmed that Woking based McLaren has tried to drag Renault into the spy scandal by raising "certain matters regarding Renault F1" that could incriminate the French team.
The Swiss newspaper Blick claims that the evidence is of another possible case of espionage, following the departure of a McLaren engineer to Renault.
Lawyers for McLaren are believed to have told the FIA that Renault copied aspects of McLaren's cooling and electronic systems this year after the defecting engineer took with him to the Enstone based team three unspecified 'disks' of detailed data.
Elsewhere in the media, it is claimed that the espionage scandal could be the final chapter in the formula one career of Ferrari boss Jean Todt.
The German newspaper Bild reports that the Frenchman's relationship with Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo is not good.
It is also claimed that Ross Brawn may have signed to return to Ferrari in 2008, on the condition that Todt has departed.
