MONZA, Sept 9, 2007 (AFP) - World championship leading British rookie Lewis Hamilton warned Sunday that his dream of lifting the title in his debut season could be wrecked by the ´spy-gate´ scandal that has rocked Formula One.

As his team celebrated a dominant one-two triumph, their first in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, in which defending champion Fernando Alonso of Spain came home ahead of Hamilton, the young Englishman revealed his amazement at the politics and chicanery in the sport.

In an interview with Britain´s ITV television, he said: "I never actually thought I´d be sitting here saying I hate something about Formula One, but the politics and people wanting to be bigger than others is just incredible.

"I would say to you that (team boss) Ron (Dennis) has always been very, very loyal to me, he has always given me the opportunity and he has always been such a great man to me. I have never had any reasons to not believe him.

"He is going through a time right now where I think some people are trying to bring him down and right now the best thing for me is to give him support," said Hamilton, who has been backed by Dennis and McLaren since 1997.

"If you sit down and think about it," he added, "I could have what I´ve worked for -- and what all the team have worked for -- we could have it taken away from us.

"And when you really think about that, you think ´Wow´ I could be out of a job next weekend and then what happens?

"It was just going so well and then you just get this big knife that cuts off your blood line," he said.

The sport´s ruling body, the International Motoring Federation (FIA) will hold a meeting of its world motor sport council in Paris on Thursday to hear new evidence in the saga that has followed allegations about leaked Ferrari technical information that found its way to rivals McLaren.

If the hearing finds McLaren guilty of using the information to their advantage, something that was not proved at an earlier hearing in July, the Anglo-German team could be excluded from this year´s championship.

McLaren´s chief executive Martin Whitmarsh pushed the politics aside after the race to savour the victory on Italian soil in Ferrari´s heartland.

He said their one-two finish in the race brought them ´extra joy´.

"Coming to Italy and getting a 1-2 is absolutely fantastic. And after a busy weekend, there is extra joy for everyone in the team. Both drivers did a fantastic job. Fernando has been strong all weekend and always looked like he was going to win from the off.

"And Lewis, by his own extraordinary high standards, was struggling a little this weekend but was determined to score the points. At the second stop, we stopped him a bit early as he had a vibration problem and perhaps we were a bit cautious.

"When we lost track position to Kimi we thought it was a bad call, but I think Lewis was so determined to hustle his way through there. I don´t think any of us expected that, least of all Kimi. So to power through like that was fantastic. It was a great lift for both drivers who did a fantastic job.

"We are a bit embattled at the moment, but we are a strong team. We are coming together and everyone is committed to winning these world championships."
