Quiet One 15 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 McLaren forced to deny more rumours Thursday 30th August 2007 McLaren have denied claims that Lewis Hamilton's tyre failure in Turkey was the result of Fernando Alonso keeping data from his team-mate. According to The Daily Mirror newspaper, Alonso took steps in Istanbul to ensure that his team-mate wasn't privilege to any of his car's data or to his set-up for the grand prix. The tabloid went on say that it is believed that 'if Hamilton's side of the McLaren garage had been able to emulate his team-mate's settings in Istanbul, the [tyre] blow would never have occurred.' However, the Woking team has strongly denied this. "It's totally untrue. We continue to have total transparency in the team," said team spokesman Ellen Kolby.

freaky2 1 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 Lol, as my friend Halfie said to me, next rumour will be that Alonso burned Hamilton's tyres with a blowtorch. Did they have to say it wasn't true? I thought it was transparent enough... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is quite amazing what some sources will report as 'news', when it is in fact stating the obvious - perhaps with F1 it stems from a lack of understanding? As long as it keeps them off the streets though, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
